Modeling Cloud Formation: Source Code

The cloud model of Cooper et al. (2003) estimates to first-order accuracy the cloud particle sizes typically found in brown dwarfs and planetary atmospheres. This model, which is one-dimensional, is based on microphysical considerations and incorporates the results of the theories of homogeneous and heterogeneous particle nucleation. We have posted the source code for this cloud model for public use as a tool for the intercomparison of planetary radiation transport models attempting to incorporate the physics of cloud condensation.

\begin{abstract}

The cloud model of Cooper et al. (2003) estimates to first-order accuracy the
cloud particle sizes typically found in brown dwarfs and planetary
atmospheres.  This model, which is one-dimensional, is based on microphysical
considerations and incorporates the results of the theories of homogeneous and
heterogeneous particle nucleation.

We have posted the source code for this cloud model for public use as a tool
for the intercomparison of planetary radiation transport models attempting to
incorporate the physics of cloud condensation.  Follow the 'Computational
Models' link from the URL above (Theoretical Astrophysics Program - University
