[RegCNET] aerosol indirect effect and 1 km x 1 km model resolution

[Peter Huszar]

Dear RegCM users,

i have two questions:
1) how is the aerosol indirect effects (both cloud albedo and cloud
lifetime effect (1st, 2nd ind.)) are included in the model version
4.6.0? I haven't found any references. More specifically I am
wondering how aerosol number concentrations affetcs the prognostic
variables defined in the new cloud microphysics scheme. Any reference
in this?
2) has anybody tried to successfully run the model with the new
non-hydrostatic core at 1 km x 1 km? Is it possible in principle?

Thanks in advance for any answer!
Peter
