Collection/aggregation algorithms in Lagrangian cloud microphysical models: rigorous evaluation in box model simulations

Recently, several Lagrangian microphysical models have been developed which use a large number of (computational) particles to represent a cloud. In particular, the collision process leading to coalescence of cloud droplets or aggregation of ice crystals is implemented differently in various models....
