Comprehensive mapping and characteristic regimes of aerosol effects on the formation and evolution of pyro-convective clouds

A recent parcel model study (Reutter et al., 2009) showed three deterministic regimes of initial cloud droplet formation, characterized by different ratios of aerosol concentrations (<i>N</i><sub>CN</sub>) to updraft velocities. This analysis, however, did not reveal how thes...
