NAT-rock formation by mother clouds: a microphysical model study

Polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) of type 1a or 1a-enh containing high number densities of nitric acid trihydrate (NAT) particles, can act as mother clouds for extremely large NAT particles, termed NAT-rocks, provided the air below the clouds is supersaturated with respect to NAT.
