Simulating mixed-phase Arctic stratus clouds: sensitivity to ice initiation mechanisms

The importance of Arctic mixed-phase clouds on radiation and the Arctic climate is well known. However, the development of mixed-phase cloud parameterization for use in large scale models is limited by lack of both related observations and numerical studies using multidimensional models with advance...
