py-cloud-parcel-model

Cloud parcel model written in python designed to be used to simulate experiments in a cloud chamber. This model is based on the underlying science of the Aerosol-Cloud-Precipitation-Interactions-Model (http://personalpages.manchester.ac.uk/staff/paul.connolly/research/acpim01.html).

Simple parcel model that calculates pressure, temperature, RH and the growth of aerosol particles into cloud drops and ice crystals.

How to use:

  1. edit namelist.py specifying your initial conditions of aerosol, temperature, pressure and RH
  2. run main.py
  3. results are plotted in 'output.pdf'
