Ice crystal concentrations in wave clouds: dependencies on temperature, <i>D</i> > 0.5 μm aerosol particle concentration, and duration of cloud processing

Model equations used to either diagnose or prognose the concentration of heterogeneously nucleated ice crystals depend on combinations of cloud temperature, aerosol properties, and elapsed time of supersaturated-vapor or supercooled-liquid conditions. The validity of these equations has been questio...
