“Hydrometeor-hydrometeor coagulation also involves coagulation of the individual aerosol components within each hydrometeor size bin.”
“Size-resolved coagulation kernels for aerosol-hydrometeor coagulation include thermophoresis, diffusiophoresis, electric charge, gravitational collection, turbulent inertial motion, turbulent shear, Brownian motion, and convective Brownian diffusion enhancement.”
“The solution method for liquid and ice growth is unconditionally stable, mass conserving between the gas and multiple aerosol bins and multiple hydrometeor bins, and is noniterative.”
“Size-resolved coagulation kernels for hydrometeor-hydrometeor coagulation include thermophoresis, diffusiophoresis, electric charge, gravitational collection, turbulent inertial motion, turbulent shear, Brownian motion, and convective Brownian diffusion enhancement.”
“Aqueous chemistry is solved within aerosol particles and hydrometeor particles simultaneously.”
“The bounceoff rate is determined with a coagulation scheme that conserves volume and volume concentration exactly among multiple hydrometeor distributions and multiple sizes per distribution.”
“Each size bin of each liquid, ice, and graupel hydrometeor distributions contains a core of black carbon, if present, for optical calculations.”
