Short summary
Numerical models of weather and climate can estimate grid-box-averaged rates of physical processes such as microphysics using Monte Carlo integration. Monte Carlo integration is simple and general but requires many evaluations of the physical process rate. To reduce the number of function evaluations, this paper describes a new, flexible method of importance sampling. It divides the domain into categories, and allows the modeler to prescribe the sampling density in each category.
