Gibbs states and Brownian models for coexisting haze and cloud droplets
Manuel Santos Gutiérrez, Mickaël David Chekroun, Ilan Koren
Cloud microphysics studies include how tiny cloud droplets grow, and become rain. This is crucial for understanding cloud properties like size, lifespan, and impact on climate thro…

The Optimal Growth Mode in the Relaxation to Statistical Equilibrium
Manuel Santos Gutiérrez, Mickaël D. Chekroun
Systems far from equilibrium approach stability slowly due to "anti-mixing" characterized by regions of the phase-space that remain disconnected after prolonged action of the flow.…

Dynamical regimes of CCN activation in adiabatic air parcels
Manuel Santos Gutiérrez, Mickaël David Chekroun, Ilan Koren
Ubiquitous, yet elusive to a complete understanding: Tiny, warm clouds with faint visual signatures play a critical role in Earth's energy balance. These "twilight clouds", as they…
