Abstract: The 2D/3D cloud model complex with explicit microphysics and radiation described in Part I is used to simulate the development of a midlatitude cirrus cloud, including interaction with radiation. To account for the effects ...

Abstract: In order to understand the mechanisms of formation of broad size spectra of cloud droplets and to develop a basis for the parameterization of cloud microphysical and optical properties, the authors derive a general kinetic ...

Abstract: The kinetic equation of stochastic condensation derived in Part I is solved analytically under some simplifications. Analytical solutions of the gamma-distribution type are found using an analogy and methodology from quantum ...

Abstract: This paper presents a unified treatment of cloud particle fall velocities for both liquid and crystalline cloud particles over the entire size range observed in the atmosphere. The fall velocity representation is formulated ...

Abstract: The new theory of ice nucleation by heterogeneous freezing of deliquescent mixed cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) presented in Part I is incorporated into a parcel model with explicit water and ice bin microphysics to ...

Abstract: The kinetic equation of stochastic condensation for cloud drop size spectra is extended to account for crystalline clouds and also to include the accretion?aggregation process. The size spectra are separated into small and ...
