Most atmospheric motions of different spatial scales and precipitation are closely related to
phase transitions in clouds. The continuously increasing resolution of large‐scale and …

Motivated by the need to resolve the condensation-coalescence bottleneck in warm rain
formation, a significant number of studies have emerged in the past 15 years concerning the …

In the atmosphere, microphysics refers to the microscale processes that affect cloud and
precipitation particles and is a key linkage among the various components of Earth's …

Abstract Representation of cloud microphysics is a key aspect of simulating clouds. From the
early days of cloud modeling, numerical models have relied on an Eulerian approach for all …

In this survey we consider the impact of turbulence on cloud formation from the cloud scale
to the droplet scale. We assess progress in understanding the effect of turbulence on the …

One of the greatest sources of uncertainty in simulations of climate and climate change is the
influence of aerosols on the optical properties of clouds. The root of this influence is the …

Cloud microphysical processes occur at the smallest end of scales among cloud-related
processes and thus must be parameterized not only in large-scale global circulation models …

Today's global Earth system models began as simple regional models of tropospheric
weather systems. Over the past century, the physical realism of the models has steadily …

This paper investigates spectral broadening of droplet size distributions through a
mechanism referred to as the eddy hopping. The key idea, suggested a quarter century ago …

In this paper, a new Lagrangian cloud model (LCM) is introduced in which the flow field is
simulated by large-eddy simulation, and the droplets are treated as Lagrangian particles …
