Evaluating the effects of microphysical complexity in idealised simulations of trade wind cumulus using the Factorial Method

The effect of microphysical and environmental factors on the development of precipitation in warm idealised cloud is explored using a kinematic modelling framework. A simple one-dimensional column model is used to drive a suite of microphysics schemes including a flexible multi-moment bulk scheme (i...
