Observations and modelling of microphysical variability, aggregation and sedimentation in tropical anvil cirrus outflow regions

Aircraft measurements of the microphysics of a tropical convective anvil (at temperatures ~−60 °C) forming above the Hector storm, over the Tiwi Islands, Northern Australia, have been conducted with a view to determining ice crystal aggregation efficiencies from in situ measurements. The o...
