The role of droplet sedimentation in the evolution of low-level clouds over southern West Africa

<p>Large-eddy simulations are performed to investigate the influence of cloud microphysics on the evolution of low-level clouds that form over southern West Africa during the monsoon season. We find that, even in clouds that are not precipitating, the size of cloud droplets has a non-neglig...
