Sensitivity studies of dust ice nuclei effect on cirrus clouds with the Community Atmosphere Model CAM5
In this study the effect of dust aerosol on upper tropospheric cirrus clouds through heterogeneous ice nucleation is investigated in the Community Atmospheric Model version 5 (CAM5) with two ice nucleation parameterizations. Both parameterizations consider homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation an...
