A new two-moment bulk stratiform cloud microphysics scheme in the Community Atmosphere Model, version 3 (CAM3). Part I: Description and numerical tests (2008, background): “Note that homogeneous freezing of haze aerosols (e.g., Liu et al. 2007) is not explicitly considered in the present version of the scheme.”
A New Two-Moment Bulk Stratiform Cloud Microphysics Scheme in the Community Atmosphere Model, Version 3 (CAM3). Part II: Single-Column and Global Results (2008, background): “We also intend to couple the crystal nucleation to the aerosol distribution following Liu et al. (2007) to improve the treatment of ice clouds (cirrus and anvil) in the new scheme and correct inconsistencies with the radiation code.”
Toward a Minimal Representation of Aerosols in Climate Models: Comparative Decomposition of Aerosol Direct, Semidirect, and Indirect Radiative Forcing (2012, unknown): “Stratiform cloud microphysics predicts number and mass mixing ratios of droplets and ice crystals and diagnoses number and mass mixing ratios of rain and snow as described by Liu et al. (2007), Morrison and Gettelman (2008), and Gettelman et al. (2008, 2010).”
Predicting global atmospheric ice nuclei distributions and their impacts on climate (2010, background): “(36) to treat liquid and ice microphysics in CAM3, thereby predicting both mass and number mixing ratio of cloud particles and explicitly treating liquid and ice mass partitioning in mixed-phase clouds to account for the Bergeron–Findeisen process in which ice crystals grow at the expense of liquid ”
Online coupled regional meteorology chemistry models in Europe: current status and prospects (2013, background): “Therefore, GCMs and regional climate models (RCMs) have started to abandon the saturation adjustment scheme for cirrus clouds and allow supersaturation with respect to ice (Lohmann and Kaercher, 2002; Liu et al., 2007; Tompkins et al., 2007; Gettelman et al., 2010; Salzmann et al., 2010).”
