The role of ice nuclei recycling in the maintenance of cloud ice in Arctic mixed-phase stratocumulus

This study investigates the maintenance of cloud ice production in Arctic mixed-phase stratocumulus in large eddy simulations that include a prognostic ice nuclei (IN) formulation and a diurnal cycle. Balances derived from a mixed-layer model and phase analyses are used to provide insight into buffe...
