Microphysical Prescriptions for Parameterized Water Cloud Formation on Ultra-cool Substellar Objects
Water must condense into ice clouds in the coldest brown dwarfs and exoplanets. When they form, these icy clouds change the emergent spectra, temperature structure, and albedo of the substellar atmosphere. The properties of clouds are governed by complex microphysics but these complexities are often...
