Effect of glasses on TTL cirrus (Dobbie) Idealised 1D Advanced Particle Simulation Code (APSC) results Glassy particles can have dramatic effects on cloud properties, especially: - mean ice size a factor of 2 larger - order of magnitude lower concentrations May explain the high in-cloud ice supersaturations Collab: Ben Murray and Theo Wilson (Chem)/Sardar Al-Jumur (PhD students)

11 Institute for Climate and Atmospheric Science (ICAS)
GCSS WG2 (Dobbie, chair) GCMs over predicting thickness of layer compared to observations (vertical res, subgrid param, etc.) LEMs agree reasonably well but comparison has highlighted some areas of improvement (UK LEM overpredicts number concentration, etc).

15 iGen Institute for Climate and Atmospheric Science (ICAS)
Particle in a box, showed p=k*v^2 (If statements) Reproduced Lorenz type parameterisation iGen has also successfully analysed a model of turbulent fluid flow (with 1.5 order turbulence closure) which demonstrates a more complex application of gridded finite-difference equations than Rayleigh-Benard convection Mie optics which demonstrates iGen’s ability to deal with the sharp peaks in output response caused by resonances  Cloud-top entrainment of Sc cloud
