Comparison of the two methods of calculating the cloud particle size, the mean particle size from the moments (⟨ a ⟩) according to Eq. (4), and from the size distribution () using Eq. (11). Left: ⟨ a ⟩ and throughout the atmosphere for T_eff = 1200 K, log (g) = 3.0, and three micro-porosity cases f_por = 0.0, 0.5, and 0.9. Right: as a fraction of ⟨ a ⟩ for the same atmosphere and micro-porosity cases as above. We chose this atmosphere because it shows the largest difference between the two average cloud particle sizes across all profiles.
