Comments on “Numerical Errors in Ice Microphysics Parameterizations and Their Effects on Simulated Regional Climate”

The purpose of this comment is to provide a physical reasoning for the ice crystals-habit parameters in WSM and WDM MPs (Hong et al. 2004), in which intrinsic numerical “errors” in the original scheme are corrected in the subject paper (Kim et al. 2022). Here, we confirm that the parameters in Hong...

Summary:The purpose of this comment is to provide a physical reasoning for the ice crystals-habit parameters in WSM and WDM MPs (Hong et al. 2004), in which intrinsic numerical “errors” in the original scheme are corrected in the subject paper (Kim et al. 2022). Here, we confirm that the parameters in Hong et al. are revisions made to the originally derived values (new method in Kim et al.) by considering uncertainties in the derived formula from limited observations and characteristics of ice-microphysical processes that were devised in Hong et al. Thus, “ Numerical errors in ice microphysics parameterizations ” in the title of the subject paper is incorrect and related discussions could be misleading .
