Short summary
This study improves how we predict ice formation in clouds by accounting for variable ice sizes and different weather conditions. Using simulations, we developed a more accurate method that works efficiently, making it suitable for application in weather and climate prediction models. The new approach is numerically verified and provides precise predictions of ice formation events and reliable estimates of key parameters.
