Short summary
We use the adjoint model of a cirrus parameterization to quantify sources of crystal variability for various ice-nucleating spectra and output from CAM5.
The sensitivities can be directly linked to nucleation regime and
efficiency of various INP.
The lab-based spectrum calculates much higher INP efficiencies than field-based ones, owing to aerosol surface properties.
The sensitivity to temperature tends to be low, due to the compensating effects of temperature on INP spectrum parameters.
