Physically based parameterization of cirrus cloud formation for use in global atmospheric models

Motivated by the need to study the climatic impact of aerosol‐related cirrus cloud changes, a physically based parameterization scheme of ice initiation and initial growth of ice crystals in young cirrus clouds has been developed. The scheme tracks the number density and size of nucleated ice crysta...
