Welcome to the py-cloud-parcel-model wiki!

This model is in the early stages of development. This wiki will describe the capabilities of the current version that is available

requirements - in order to run the model you will need anaconda3 installed as well as the 'assimulo' package

               http://www.jmodelica.org/assimulo
               https://conda.io/docs/user-guide/install/download.html

initialisation - temperature, pressure, RH, lognormal aerosol parameters (median diameter, number, sigma - for each mode), kappa, density and molecular weight for each aerosol mode, number of size
bins, number of aerosol modes

output variables - temperature, pressure, RH, condensed water mass (binned), number of activated drops, number of ice crystals (binned), mass of ice (binned)

output file - results of a simulations can be viewed in 'output.pdf'

NOTES: RH seems very sensitive to number of bins,
the number of ice crystals is too high, nucleation of ice is calculated according to the ns parameterisation for k-feldspar
