Vertical cross-sections of azimuthally averaged and time-averaged radar reflectivity (dBz) and azimuthally averaged and time-averaged hourly precipitation (mm h-1).

Caption

Vertical cross-sections of azimuthally averaged and time-averaged radar reflectivity (dBz) from three numerical simulations: (a) CTL, (b) CLEAN, (c) CTLARIOFF, (d) Toal=CTL-CLEAN, (e) ARI=CTL-CTLARIOFF, (f) ACI=CTLARIOFF-CLEAN. (g) Azimuthally averaged and time-averaged hourly precipitation (mm h-1). Three simulations (CTL, CLEAN, and CTLARIOFF) were designed, representing a polluted case (CTL, considering the ingestion of anthropogenic aerosols with ARI and ACI), a clean maritime case (CLEAN, mainly with sea salt aerosols), and a polluted case without aerosol radiative forcing (CTLARIOFF, as the CTL but without ARI).The time period is from 1200 UTC on October 20 to 1200 UTC on October 21.
