The Role of Ice Splintering on Microphysics of Deep Convective Clouds Forming Under Different Aerosol Conditions : Simulations Using the Model With Spectral Bin Microphysics
Observations during the Ice in Clouds Experiment-Tropical (ICE-T) field experiment show that the ice particles concentration in a developing deep convective clouds at the level of T = −15 °C reached about 500 L−1, that is, many orders higher than that of ice-nucleating particle. To simulate microphysics of these clouds, the 2-D Hebrew University Cloud model (HUCM) with spectral bin microphysics wa
