Description
Summary:[...]we suggest that the following combination of assumptions provides a version of the scheme that is suitable for further testing in other models and in other case studies. Regarding the choice of ice crystal habit, it should be noted that similar results were obtained for spherical and columnar crystals. Since no single choice of ice crystal habit is correct, the simplest assumption of spherical crystals provides a good starting point for further tests.
