 The LCM was validated against traditional bulk models for the BOMEX (The Barbados Oceanographic and Meteorological EXperiment) experiment (see [#siebesma2003 Siebesma et al., 2003]) by [#riechelmann2012 Riechelmann et al. (2012)]. [#riechelmann2012 Riechelmann et al. (2012)] and [#lee2014 Lee et al. (2014)] used the LCM for studying turbulence and droplet dynamics in convective clouds; [#hoffmann2015a Hoffmann et al. (2015)] investigated cloud droplet activation. Figure 10 shows the spatial distribution of simulated droplets and their respective radius within a simulated cumulus cloud. It appears that the largest drops (in terms of radius) are located at the top and the edges of the cloud, whereas smaller droplets tend to be located at the cloud base.

+Figure 10: Distribution of droplets (colored dots) inside a shallow cumulus cloud simulated with PALM. The figure shows a vertical cross-section through the 3-D cloud. The color and size indicate the droplet's radius. The cloud has been triggered by a bubble of warm air (similar to [#hoffmann2015a Hoffmann et al., 2015]). A grid spacing of 20 m was used and about 225 million particles were simulated in total.
