Zusammenfassung

Arctic low level clouds are considered to play a significant role in the Arctic climate system. In this study, we examined a temperature dependence of precipitating ice particle number concentrations of Arctic mixed-phase clouds observed by continuous ground-based in situ measurements. Precipitating particles were measured using an optical disdrometer (MPS, DMT Inc.) at Mt. Zeppelin Observatory in Ny-Alesund (78.9N, 11.9E), Svalbard between years of 2016 and 2020. Based on ground-based cloud radar and lidar observations, we selected a single layer mixed-phase cloud whose cloud-top height was less than 2.5 km. For the ice nucleating particles number concentration (N_INP), we adopted typical number concentrations observed at Mt. Zeppelin. Because N_INP depends on temperature, we used the value corresponding to the cloud-top temperature. As a result, number concentration fluxes of precipitation particles (F_ice) tended to increase with decreasing temperature below approximately -15°C and they agreed with F_INP within one order of magnitude. On the other hand, at temperatures above -10°C, F_ice was several orders of magnitude higher than F_INP.In this paper, we discuss possible reasons for these temperature dependences of F_ice.
