The initial formation of precipitation in warm clouds remains shrouded in mystery. Precipitation initiation in bulk microphysical parameterizations is typically cast as a nonlinear function dependent on liquid water content and droplet concentration, which suggests two possible paths to precipitation initiation in actual clouds—high liquid water content or low droplet concentration. A bin-microphysics large-eddy simulation (LES) model is employed investigate the dominant microphysical precursor conditions influencing precipitation initiation for a case of marine stratocumulus over the eastern North Atlantic. Results suggest that new regions of precipitation are associated with fluid parcels that previously participated in the precipitation process.
