Bulk Microphysics Parameterization

Bulk Microphysics Parameterization is a computational modeling approach in atmospheric science that represents the collective evolution of cloud and precipitation particles through prognostic equations for bulk quantities such as water mass and number concentration, distinguished from explicit bin microphysics by its simplification of particle size distributions into integrated variables for use in large-scale numerical weather and climate models.
