Cloud Microphysical Response To Entrainment And Mixing Is Locally Inhomogeneous And Globally Homogeneous: Evidence From The Lab, Jaemin Yeom, Ian Helman, Prasanth Prabhakaran, Jesse Anderson, Fan Yang, Raymond Shaw, Will Cantrell

Michigan Tech Research Data

The effects of entrainment-mixing on the cloud droplet size distribution are examined in the Pi cloud chamber that creates a turbulent supersaturated environment for cloud formation. The experiments are conducted with a temperature-controlled flange to mimic the entrainment-mixing process. The entrainment zone is created at the center of the top surface of the chamber, allowing dry air of controlled temperature (T_e) and flow rate (Q_e) to flow into the mixing cloud region. Due to the large-scale circulation, the downwind region is directly affected by entrained dry air from the flange, whereas the upwind region is representative …

Molecular Dynamics Simulation Data: Mw And Mlmw Water Model Ice Nucleation On A Hydrophilic Substrate With Negative Pressure, Will Cantrell, Tianshu Li, Issei Nakamura, Elise Rosky, Raymond Shaw

Michigan Tech Research Data

This dataset contains the data supporting Figures in the study by Rosky et al., "Molecular simulations reveal that heterogeneous ice nucleation occurs at higher temperatures in water under capillary tension", submitted for publication in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics in February 2023. Input files for reproducing the molecular dynamics simulations are included.

The abstract from the paper reads: Using a molecular model of water freezing on a hydrophilic substrate, it is found that heterogeneous ice nucleation rates occur at higher temperatures in water that is under tension, in other words under negative pressure. For pressures ranging from from 1 atm to …
