Short summary
The interplay of liquid and ice particles in clouds is a crucial driver for forming rain over land. We use numerical simulations to evaluate how fast clouds can be glaciated through ice particles and how this depends on different initial states of the cloud. We find that the more water a cloud contains, the longer the glaciation takes while any additional turbulent mixing does not have a major impact.
