Fig. 2: Composite vertical profiles for InCPEs and WeCPEs from the GPM data.
From: A global view on microphysical discriminations between heavier and lighter convective rainfall
a, g rain rate, (b, h) maximum radar reflectivity, (c, i) radar-estimated ice water content, (d, j) radar-estimated liquid water content, (e, k) average Dm, and (f, l) average Nw. The dashed black line denotes the approximate melting level (5 km). The 50th percentiles and 90th percentiles are represented by solid and dotted lines, respectively. Due to the contamination of surface clutter, only profiles above 1 km from the ground are applied.
