This chapter discusses the laboratory methods, instruments, and facilities used to investigate and simulate cloud physical processes, which include aerosol particle hygroscopic growth and activation, droplet dynamic growth, ice nucleation, droplet freezing, and droplet–turbulence interactions. It also offers suggestions for future research topics and facilities in-laboratory cloud simulation.
Keywords: aerosol, droplet dynamic growth, ice nucleation, droplet freezing, droplet–turbulence interactions, cloud simulation
