Tight coupling of particle size, number and composition in atmospheric cloud droplet activation

P ¨oschl, U.: Aerosol- and updraft-limited regimes of cloud droplet formation: influence of par- ticle number, size and hygroscopicity on the activation of cloud condensation

This study presents a new parameterization of cloud droplet formation for an aerosol mixture consisting of soluble particles that activate according to K ¨ohler theory, and

Weekly cycles have been analysed in surface observations of sulfur dioxide and sul- fate concentrations, satellite observations of aerosol optical depth, cloud properties (cloud

A simple yet robust air-parcel model of cloud drop formation utilizing the adaptive method of lines was formulated. Implementation of the model was discussed and its source code

We use a global aerosol microphysics model to estimate the effect of particle formation through activation nucleation in the boundary layer (BL) on cloud droplet num- ber

The well- predicted aerosol quantities, such as aerosol number, mass composition and optical properties, and the inclusion of full aerosol-cloud couplings lead to

As an initial application of the κ -based lookup tables, and to test the role of the parti- cle size distribution and aerosol hygroscopicity, sensitivity simulations were carried

It is shown that subgrid treatment of cloud activation and autoconversion of cloud water to rain reduce the impact of anthropogenic aerosols on cloud properties and thus reduce
