®8.1.9 Cloud Microphysics:
- Option 1 -
Warm rain conversion and accretion of cloud water to raindrops, evaporation and sedimentation (Tripoli and Cotton, 1980)
-
Option 2 -
Option 1 plus specified nucleation of ice crystals, conversion nucleation and accretion of graupel, growth of ice crystals, evaporation, melting and sedimentation (see Cotton et al., 1982)
-
Option 3 -
Option 1 plus option 2 plus predicted nucleation and sink of crystal concentration, conversion and growth of aggregates, melting, evaporation and sedimentation The nucleation model includes: sorption/deposition,
