Short summary
We use a weather model with aircraft and satellite data to study ice multiplication in thunderstorms across India, Mexico, Oklahoma, and the tropical Atlantic. This process can create spurious ice particles in clouds, thereby increasing latent and radiative heating that strengthens stratiform ascents in storms and extends anvil-cloud lifetimes. These results improve our understanding of how small-scale ice processes influence large-scale storm behavior and rainfall patterns.
