AB: We have developed a novel, probabilistic, particle based cloud physics model, named Super-Droplet Method (SDM). SDM enables accurate calculation of cloud physics with less demanding cost in computation, and readily incorporate various processes of cloud physics, such as, several sorts of soluble/insoluble CCNs, and their chemical reactions. Though several validations and further development is still necessary, we expect that SDM provides a new approach to the quantitative evaluation of the indirect aerosol forcing on the climate change.
