Key Points

The research aims to investigate the fundamental processes behind droplet and ice formation in clouds using a thermodynamic framework.
Developed a free-energy framework based on the Universal Condensation Principle.
Analyzed the microphysical properties of cloud particles.
Examined the thermodynamic interactions during condensation and ice formation.
Established a universal model that applies to both droplet and ice formation.
Identified key thermodynamic variables that influence cloud microphysics.
Showed that the framework can predict condensation behavior under various atmospheric conditions.
