The Influence of Parameterized Ice Habit on the Glaciation of Arctic Clouds

Mixed-phase stratus clouds are prevalent in the Arctic during the winter and transition seasons (Curry et al., 1996; Intrieri et al., 2002). Due to the lower equilibrium vapor pressure of ice as compared to liquid, ice crystals in mixed-phase clouds
