Short summary
Arctic clouds containing both liquid droplets and ice crystals are difficult to simulate. We tested how ice-related changes in a weather model, designed for temperate regions, perform in the Arctic. Ice crystal shape is the dominant factor: making crystals spherical substantially reduces cloud ice and shifts it to snow. These modifications are moderate in temperate regions but stronger in the Arctic. As this rests on a single case, they should be validated across diverse cases and climates.
