The production of warm rain in shallow maritime cumulus clouds

What is it about?

Comparisons of aircraft observations during RICO with the cloud model strongly suggest that the development of warm rain can be explained using the observed aerosol distribution alone and giant CCN were unimportant for the production of rain in these clouds.

Why is it important?

Warm rain is an essential process in cloud microphysics. It it important to use the correct initial conditions of aerosol in simulations.
