The effects of mineral dust particles, aerosol regeneration and ice nucleation parameterizations on clouds and precipitation

This study focuses on the effects of aerosol particles on the formation of convective clouds and precipitation in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, with a special emphasis on the role of mineral dust particles in these processes. We used a new detailed numerical cloud microphysics scheme that has been...
