High Free‐Tropospheric Aitken‐Mode Aerosol Concentrations Buffer Cloud Droplet Concentrations in Large‐Eddy Simulations of Precipitating Stratocumulus

Abstract A new Aitken mode aerosol microphysics scheme is developed for a large eddy simulation model in order to better investigate cloud‐aerosol interactions in the marine boundary layer and to study the Aitken buffering hypothesis of McCoy et al.
