Why can't models simulate mixed-phase clouds correctly?
Motivated by the importance of clouds for weather and climate due to their radiative impact, this thesis addresses the current poor representation of thin, stratiform mixed-phase clouds by state-of-the-art numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. Due to the supercooled liquid water present at cold...
