Description of Mixed-Phase Clouds in Weather Forecast and Climate Models

Develop a process-level understanding addressing the processes responsible for making mixed-phase stratocumulus so common, by far the most common cloud type over the Arctic, when thermodynamic principles suggest that ice and liquid particles cannot coexist for extended periods of time. Find linkages...

Description
Summary:Develop a process-level understanding addressing the processes responsible for making mixed-phase stratocumulus so common, by far the most common cloud type over the Arctic, when thermodynamic principles suggest that ice and liquid particles cannot coexist for extended periods of time. Find linkages between dynamic processes on all scales, ranging from long range transport to turbulent motions, and cloud micro-physics.
