Spatial and temporal CCN variations in convection-permitting aerosol microphysics simulations in an idealised marine tropical domain

A convection-permitting limited area model with periodic lateral boundary conditions and prognostic aerosol microphysics is applied to investigate how concentrations of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) in the marine boundary layer are affected by high-resolution dynamical and thermodynamic fields. Th...
