Lake effect snow is a shallow convection phenomenon during cold airadvection over a relatively warm lake. A severe case of lake effect snowover Lake Erie on 24 December 2001 was studied with the MM5 and WRFmesoscale models. This particular case provided over 200 cm of snow inBuffalo (NY), caused three casualties and $10 million of material damage.Hence, the need for a reliable forecast of the lake effect snow phenomenonis evident. MM5 and WRF simulate lake effect snow successfully, although theintensity of the snowbelt is underestimated. It appears that significantdifferences occur between using a simple and a complex microphysics scheme.In MM5, the use of the simple-ice microphysics scheme results in thetriggering of the convection much earlier in time than with the moresophisticated Reisner-Graupel-scheme. Furthermore, we find a largedifference in the maximum precipitation between the different nesteddomains: Reisner-Graupel produces larger differences in precipitationbetween the domains than "simple ice". In WRF, the sophisticated Thompsonmicrophysics scheme simulates less precipitation than the simple WSM3scheme. Increased temperature of Lake Erie results in an exponential growthin the 24-h precipitation. Regarding the convection scheme, the updatedKain-Fritsch scheme (especially designed for shallow convection during lakeeffect snow), gives only slight differences in precipitation between theupdated and the original scheme
