Importance of including ammonium sulfate ((NH<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub>) aerosols for ice cloud parameterization in GCMs

A common deficiency of many cloud-physics parameterizations including the NASA's microphysics of clouds with aerosol-cloud interactions (hereafter called McRAS-AC) is that they simulate lesser (larger) than the observed ice cloud particle number (size). A single column model (SCM) of McRAS-A...
