Numerical simulation of clouds and precipitation depending on different relationships between aerosol and cloud droplet spectral dispersion

The aerosol effects on clouds and precipitation in deep convective cloud systems are investigated using the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model with the Morrison two-moment bulk microphysics scheme. Considering positive or negative relationships between the cloud droplet number concentration (...
