Quantitative comparison of presumed-number-density and quadrature moment methods for the parameterisation of drop sedimentation

In numerical weather prediction models, parameterisations are used as an alternative to spectral modelling. One type of parameterisations are the so-called methods of moments. In the present study, two different methods of moments, a presumed-number-density-function method with finite upper integrat...
