The Weather Research Forecasting (WRF) V4.2 model is configured within a Lagrangian framework to quantify the impact of aerosols on evolving cloud fields. Simulations employing realistic meteorological boundary conditions are based on 10 case study days offering diverse meteorology during the Aeroso...
