Short summary
Secondary ice production (SIP) is key to explaining the high ice particle concentrations observed in deep convective clouds. We investigate secondary ice production in summer convective clouds over New Mexico, and our results show that collisions between supercooled water droplets and more massive ice particles are the dominant SIP mechanism in these clouds. We also find that the entrainment of external aerosols leads to earlier ice enhancement under homogeneous mixing.
