This overestimation occurs because the potential evapotranspiration (PET) calculations fail to consider the interactive effects of vegetation responses such as increased leaf area index (LAI) and constrained stomatal conductance, which are influenced by elevated atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> concentrations ([CO<sub>2</sub>]). To address this issue, our study replaced the traditional Penman-Monteith (PM) equation with a recently proposed PET equation that includes the effects of changing [CO<sub>2</sub>] and LAI to assess droughts at monthly scale in the Upper Yangtze River basin, which experiences the vegetation greening. The findings indicated a consistent increasing trend in drought conditions with minimal discrepancy between the two equations over the historical period (1986–2017). This consistency arises because the water-saving effects of increased [CO<sub>2</sub>] and the greening effects of rising LAI largely counterbalance each other. However, for the future period (2018–2100), projections using PM equation predicted an intensification of drought conditions. In contrast, the improved SPEI indicated no significant drought variations, and the improved PDSI suggested a wetting trend. This divergence can be attributed to the water-saving effects increasingly outweighing the greening effects, as PET shows a decreasing sensitivity to LAI with LAI increasing, but maintains a near-constant sensitivity to elevated [CO<sub>2</sub>]. Consequently, the indices based on PM equation tend to overestimate future drought severity. Overall, this study demonstrates that the new PET estimation method is more capable of responding to the changing environment.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":15986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres","volume":"129 20","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142435714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The adiabatic and superadiabatic topside lapse rates of these temperature inversions indicate that some of the identified inversion layers may have been formed by gravity wave (GW) dissipation. The structure of the squared buoyancy frequency profiles indicates a stable layer or thermal duct that can be associated with large-amplitude mesospheric inversion layers (MILs) that extend large distances.

However, the influence of long-range transport of dust on primary ice formation in cirrus clouds is limitedly understood, specifically over the clean remote ocean regions. Here, two case studies show that transpacific Asian dust can impact the ice formation of cirrus clouds over the central Pacific based on Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization and Cloud Profiling Radar (CPR, CloudSat) observations. One case shows a well-developed horizontally extended cirrus embedded in a pure dust layer, with an average dust-related ice-nucleating particle concentration (INPC) of 7 L<sup>−1</sup> and 96 L<sup>−1</sup> for an ice saturation ratio <i>S</i><sub>i</sub> of 1.15 and 1.25, respectively; ice crystal number concentration (ICNC) with diameters &gt;25 and 100 μm (denoted as <i>n</i><sub>ice,25 μm</sub> and <i>n</i><sub>ice,100 μm</sub>) are 64 L<sup>−1</sup> and 7 L<sup>−1</sup>, respectively.

The scattering properties of the melting particles are computed with the Invariant-Imbedding T-Matrix (IITM) method, and the results are tabulated as look-up tables for the radar operator. Regarding the parameterization of bulk optical properties, a flux-conservation scheme is employed to estimate the size distribution of melting particles. To demonstrate its flexibility and superiority, the single and bulk scattering properties of our multi-stage melting model are compared against the traditional homogeneous model, which uses the effective medium approximation (EMA). The effectiveness of the multi-stage melting model has also been assessed by mapping model states in the regional mesoscale model of the China Meteorology Administration (CMA-MESO) to radar observations. In the microphysics package of CMA-MESO, the melting process is not explicitly represented, and we assume that melting hydrometeors occur where solid and liquid phases overlap.

This study pioneers the application of deep learning (DL) methods, including convolutional neural network, U-Net, and Attention U-Net models, to simulate precipitation associated with these weather events. The spatial permutation method is also used to identify key meteorological variables for accurately generating precipitation in DL models. The DL models trained on all timeslots consistently surpass the performance of state-of-the-art numerical simulations, although their efficacy slightly diminishes during extreme weather events. This outperformance is attributed to the appropriate emphasis on key variables that capture precipitation processes, such as low-level moisture and mid-level pressure fields. However, new DL models trained separately for TCs, MCSs, and ARs using clipped precipitation as the output does not exceed the performance of the previous DL models. Among all input features, moisture variables contribute the most to precipitation at low intensity, while the importance of other variables increases for more intense precipitation, although some discrepancies vary across models and event types. The spatial results further reveal the detailed locations of variables that are essential for accurately simulating precipitation related to weather events, such as areas of high specific humidity and strong winds. DL models could also acquire useful information from region remote to the events to improve the simulation.

The distributions currently used in such models are often not supported by observations at high altitude. More sophisticated distributions are key to represent ice supersaturation, a physical phenomenon that plays a major role in the formation of natural cirrus and contrail cirrus. Here the observed distributions are fitted with a beta law whose parameters are adjusted from the gridbox mean variables.
