Different contact angle distributions for heterogeneous ice nucleation in the Community Atmospheric Model version 5

In order to investigate the impact of different treatments for the contact angle (α) in heterogeneous ice nucleating properties of natural dust and black carbon (BC) particles, we implement the classical-nucleation-theory-based parameterization of heterogeneous ice nucleation (Hoose et al....
