Resolving both entrainment-mixing and number of activated CCN in deep convective clouds
The number concentration of activated CCN (<i>N</i><sub>a</sub>) is the most fundamental microphysical property of a convective cloud. It determines the rate of droplet growth with cloud depth and conversion into precipitation-sized particles a...
