On Which Microphysical Time Scales to Use in Studies of Entrainment‐Mixing Mechanisms in Clouds

The commonly used time scales in entrainment‐mixing studies are examined to seek the most appropriate one, based on aircraft observations of cumulus clouds from the RACORO campaign and numerical simulations with the Explicit Mixing Parcel Model. The time scales include the following: τevap, the time...
