«Assessment of marine boundary layer cloud simulations in the CAM with CLUBB and updated
microphysics scheme based on ARM observations from the Azores.»
The three models are the result of varying a single parameter that controls the amount of cloud water required for the onset of coalescence in the models
microphysics scheme, which in turn controls the water content of clouds.

On the matter of the role of condensation nuclei, a few general circulation models do have some crude representation of nucleation
microphysics in their convection or cloud
schemes, but it certainly isn't the key factor in the weak increase of precipitation with temperature, which is seen in all GCM's including those with very basic representations of convection.
Using a full factorial design, three
schemes were changed in the MPE: vertical diffusion, cloud
microphysics, and cumulus convection.
