Impact of high- and low-vorticity turbulence on cloud–environment mixing and cloud microphysics processes
<p>Turbulent mixing of dry air affects the evolution of the cloud droplet size spectrum via various mechanisms. In a turbulent cloud, high- and low-vorticity regions coexist, and inertial clustering of cloud droplets can occur in low-vorticity regions. The nonuniformity in the spatial distribu...
