In-situ measurements of Arctic clouds frequently show that ice crystal number concentrations (ICNCs) are much higher than the available ice-nucleating particles (INPs), suggesting that Secondary Ice Production (SIP) may be active. Here we use a Lagrangian Parcel Model and a Large Eddy Simulation to...
