As spatial resolution in numerical models continue to increase, explicit microphysics schemes activated upon grid-scale saturation become more important in representing cloud and precipitation processes. Milbrandt and Yau's explicit microphysics parameterization is a bulk, multimoment scheme that allows for changes in three parameters in the gamma size distribution function. One of these parameters is the shape parameter α, which is obtained by inverting a function G(α). This inversion, however, can result in solutions of α that are negative and multi-valued. To avoid the problem, an assumption of α greater or equal to 0 is applied in the scheme. Another issue in relation to the shape parameter is that G(α) is asymptotic to one for increasi...
