Aerosol-cloud-precipitation effects over Germany as simulated by a convective-scale numerical weather prediction model

Possible aerosol-cloud-precipitation effects over Germany are investigated using the COSMO model in a convection-permitting configuration close to the operational COSMO-DE. Aerosol effects on clouds and precipitation are modeled by using an advanced two-moment microphysical parameterization taking i...
