    1818instead of ''θ'' as described in Sect. [wiki:doc/tec/gov governing equations]. Since ''q'' and ''θ'',,l,, are conserved quantities for wet adiabatic processes, condensation/evaporation is not considered for these variables.

    20 PALM offers three different schemes ([#kessler1969 Kessler (1969)], [#seifert2001 Seifert and Beheng (2001],[#seifert2006  2006)], Morisson (2007)) for the treatment of liquid phase microphysics. The [#kessler1969 Kessler (1969)] scheme provides a computational inexpensive way for the bulk microphysics. However, it only converts supersaturation into liquid water and considering autoconversion after a parameterization of [#kessler1969 Kessler (1969)].

    2222A more detailed parameterization is given by following the two-moment scheme of [#seifert2001 Seifert and Beheng (2001],[#seifert2006  2006)], which is based on the separation of the droplet spectrum into droplets with radii < 40 μm (cloud droplets) and droplets with radii ≥ 40 μm (rain droplets). Here, the model predicts the first two moments of these partial droplet spectra, namely cloud and rain

    50 In the next subsections we will describe the diagnostic determination of ''q'',,c,,. From Sect. [wiki:doc/tec/microphysics#Autoconversion autoconversion] on, the microphysical processes considered in the sink/source terms of ''θ'',,l,,, ''q'', ''N'',,r,, and ''q'',,r,,,

     49The [#morrison2007 Morrison (2007)] microphysics scheme can be understood as an extension of the scheme of [#seifert2001 Seifert and Beheng (2001],[#seifert2006  2006)], where ''N'',,c,, and ''q'',,c,, are prognostic quantities as well.

     51In the next subsections we will describe the diagnostic/prognostic determination (in dependence of the chosen scheme) of ''q'',,c,,. From Sect.
