APCEMM Contrail Simulation Visualization

These videos show the evolution of the cross-section of a contrail simulated in APCEMM 1.2.0. 

The contrail is initialised at the center of a synthetic ice supersaturated region (ISSR) with the following parameters:

• Relative humidity with respect to ice: 125 % inside the ISSR, 40 % outside the ISSR
• ISSR depth: 1 km
• Temperature lapse rate: -6.5 K/km
• Shear: 0.002 1/s

Three videos are available, showing a different variable each:

• Ice water content (IWC)
• Relative humidity with respect to ice (RHi)
• Effective radius of the ice particles (r_eff)
