comments and suggestions, Claudia Stubenrauch for providing
the TOVS data, Sylvaine Ferrachat and Rebekka Posselt for
technical help and the German (DKRZ) and Swiss Computing
Centres (CSCS) for computing time. This study contributed
towards the Swiss climate research program NCCR Climate. It
was partly supported by the EC within the framework of the
MC fellowship 'Impact of mesoscale dynamics and aerosols on
the life cycle of cirrus clouds' and partly by the
Integrated Project SCOUT- O3.},
abstract = {At temperatures below 238 K, cirrus clouds can form by
homogeneous and heterogeneous ice nucleation mechanisms.
ECHAM5 contains a two-moment cloud microphysics scheme and
permits cirrus formation by homogeneous freezing of solution
droplets and heterogeneous freezing on immersed dust nuclei.
On changing the mass accommodation coefficient, alpha, of
water vapor on ice crystals from 0.5 in the standard ECHAM5
simulation to 0.006 as suggested by previous laboratory
experiments, the number of ice crystals increases by a
factor of 14, as a result of the delayed relaxation of
supersaturation. At the same time, the ice water path
increases by only $29\%$ in the global annual mean,
indicating that the ice crystals are much smaller in the
case of low alpha. As a consequence, the short wave and long
wave cloud forcing at the top of the atmosphere increase by
15 and 18 W m(-2), respectively. Assuming heterogeneous
freezing caused by immersed dust particles instead of
homogeneous freezing, the effect is much weaker, decreasing
the global annual mean short wave and long wave cloud
forcing by 2.7 and 4.7 W m(-2). Overall, these results
provide little support, if any, for kinetic growth
limitation of ice particles (i.e. a very low alpha).},
