WRF Single Moment Microphysics scheme

[levi_ackerman0929]

Hello!

I am a new user of WRF and I'm planning on doing a research about the impact of WSM3, WSM5 and WSM6 to the intensity and track of tropical cyclone. How are they different to each other based on their assumptions and how can these affect the intensity and track?

Thank you!
