Illustration of microphysical processes in Amazonian deep convective clouds in the gamma phase space: introduction and potential applications

The behavior of tropical clouds remains a major open scientific question, resulting in poor representation by models. One challenge is to realistically reproduce cloud droplet size distributions (DSDs) and their evolution over time and space. Many applications, not limited to models, use the gamm...
