N2 - The history of numerical modeling of the effect of aerosols on clouds dates back at least 50 years to the work of Howell (1949) and Mordy (1959), who considered the growth of a population of aerosol particles in a rising parcel of air. Models such as these addressed the effects of both aerosol and dynamical parameters (i.e. updraft velocity) on the number and size distribution of cloud droplets. To this day similar models are in wide use to examine the effects of aerosol composition and atmospheric trace gases on droplet activation (e.g. Kulmala et al. 1993; Ghan et al. 1997; Feingold and Chuang 2002; Nenes et al. 2002).
