Diagnosis of processes controlling water vapour in the tropical tropopause layer by a Lagrangian cirrus model

We have developed a Lagrangian air-parcel cirrus model (LACM), to diagnose the processes controlling water in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL). LACM applies parameterised microphysics to air parcel trajectories. The parameterisation includes the homogeneous freezing of aerosol droplets, the growt...
