TL;DR: The WRF-ACI model configuration is used to investigate the scale dependency of aerosol-cloud interactions (ACI) across the "grey zone" scales for grid and subgrid-scale clouds, and it is found the cloud lifetime effect weakens with decreasing grid spacing, leading to suppressed precipitation in regions of the eastern U.S. (via Semantic Scholar)

The Weather Research and Forecasting Model with Aerosol-Cloud Interactions (WRF-ACI): Development, Evaluation, and Initial Application

MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW, 147(5), 1491–1511.

By: T. Glotfelty*, K. Alapaty*, J. He*, P. Hawbecker n, X. Song * & G. Zhang*

TL;DR: Results indicate that the WRF-ACI model provides the community with a computationally efficient tool for exploring aerosol-cloud interactions and is shown to be sensitive to the choice of autoconversion parameterization used in both the gridscale and subgrid-scale cloud microphysics.
