Continuous Flow Ice Thermal Diffusion Chamber Measurements of Ice Nuclei in the Arctic
Mixed-phase stratus clouds are ubiquitous in the Arctic and play an important role in climate in this region. However, climate and regional models have generally proven unsuccessful at simulating arctic cloudiness, particularly during the colder months. Specifically, models tend to under-predict the...

Summary: | Mixed-phase stratus clouds are ubiquitous in the Arctic and play an important role in climate in this region. However, climate and regional models have generally proven unsuccessful at simulating arctic cloudiness, particularly during the colder months. Specifically, models tend to under-predict the amount of liquid water in mixed-phase clouds. This is problematic because cloud phase can greatly impact the |
