Lapidus, A., and U. Shafrir, 1972: A new Monte-Carlo simulation model for the temporal development of cloud droplet spectra. J. Atmos. Sci., 29, 1308-1312, doi:10.1175/1520-0469(1972)029<1308:ANMCSM>2.0.CO;2.

A new Monte-Carlo simulation model for computing the temporal development of cloud droplet spectra is presented. Since the simulation is carried out in probability space, the new model does not need to follow the growth history and position of each and every drop. Additional physical processes, such as turbulence, electrical effects, glaciation, etc., can be added to the primary growth process of gravitational coagulation with relative case. The main features of the model are demonstrated by several numerical examples.
