adequate cloud µ-physics representations?<br />

"dry radius" (nucleus)<br />

Eulerian<br />

Lagrangian<br />

"wet radius" (solution drop)<br />

single-moment bulk:<br />

no influence <strong>of</strong> aerosol on cloud<br />

multi-moment bulk,<br />

1D-bin:<br />

aerosol may influence cloud<br />

no "memory" <strong>of</strong> drop nuclei<br />

• available liquid water is split between<br />

”virtual particles”<br />

• each ”virtual particle” (aka<br />

super-droplet) represents a multiplicity<br />

<strong>of</strong> particles <strong>of</strong> the same properties<br />

• particle-level <strong>for</strong>mulation <strong>of</strong> source and<br />

sink terms <strong>for</strong> each super-droplet
