Using a three - dimensional cloud - resolving model with explicit representations of cloud physics, scientists simulated single - and multi-layer mixed -
phase clouds observed in previous field studies.

«At the beginning of the pulse we
observe delocalized Rydberg atoms throughout the
cloud characteristic for the magnetically disordered
phase in this parameter regime.»
However, past studies of such Arctic mixed -
phase clouds have been unable to explain the measured abundance of ice crystals larger than 100 micrometers in maximum dimension (the size range where measurements are available), given
observed environmental conditions and the measured concentrations of ice nuclei that could be entrained into the
observed shallow
cloud layers from aloft.
