Short summary
To better understand cloud behavior, we used model simulation to study how the air mix in clouds. Our results show that the pattern of mixing seen from aircraft measurements may not reflect the true mixing process happening inside clouds. This result suggests that care is needed when using aircraft data to study the cloud mixing process and that new ways of observing clouds could offer clearer insights.
