Physically based parameterization of cirrus cloud formation for use in global atmospheric models
Open accessAbstract
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 crystals as a function of vertical wind speed, temperature, ice saturation ratio, aerosol number size distributions, and preexisting cloud ice, allowing for competition between heterogeneous ice nuclei and liquid aerosol particles during freezing. Predictions of the parameterization are compared with numerical parcel simulations of ice nucleation and growth from atmospheric aerosols, with a special focus on explaining the indirect effects of ice nuclei on the properties of young cirrus clouds. The uncertainties of the parameterization are discussed and its implementation in a general circulation model is briefly outlined. This new scheme establishes a flexible framework for a comprehensive assessment of indirect aerosol effects on and properties of cirrus clouds in global climate, chemistry transport, and weather forecast models.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
