Figure summarizes the dynamics and microphysics of a shallow cumulus that is just starting to develop ice. The figure depicts varying amounts of cloud liquid water below the freezing level (see legend). Variations in cloud liquid water content (CLWC) are caused by variations in updraft strength and associated water supersaturation. The figure also depicts the presence of supercooled liquid water above the freezing level and the presence of small ice particles above the –10°C level.
