Understanding cirrus ice crystal number variability for different heterogeneous ice nucleation spectra

Along with minimizing parameter uncertainty, understanding the cause of temporal and spatial variability of the nucleated ice crystal number, <i>N</i><sub>i</sub>, is key to improving the representation of cirrus clouds in climate models. To this end, sensitivities of <...
