Cloud microphysics are parameterized according to Rotstayn (1997) with an updated treatment of mixed phase clouds (Rotstayn et al. 2000).”

(2000), as described in Anderson et al. (2004).”
• A new two-moment bulk stratiform cloud microphysics scheme in the Community Atmosphere Model, version 3 (CAM3). Part I: Description and numerical tests (2008, methodology): “For example, as pointed out by Pincus and Klein (2000), Rotstayn et al. (2000), and Larson et al. (2001), precipitation formation is highly nonlinear, resulting in potentially substantial biases if only the mean in-cloud cloud water is considered.”
• Aerosol indirect effects – general circulation model intercomparison and evaluation with satellite data (2009, methodology): “Note that like AM2, AM3 uses a prognostic scheme of large-scale cloud condensates and fraction (Tiedtke, 1993) with microphysics largely following Rotstayn (1997) and Rotstayn et al. (2000).”
