Abstract	This study explores the effect of radiation on cloud droplet growth in shallow cumulus clouds. Using an offline parcel model it is found that radiative cooling affects droplet growth mostly for drop sizes larger than 10 $\mu$m and that the effect is stronger for 3D than for 1D radiation. Recirculating parcel meet several of the criteria that are found to be favorable for a strong effect of radiative cooling on cloud droplet growth and hence contribute more strongly to rain production than if radiative effects on diffusional droplet growth is not taken into account. In a sencond part, a fully coupled LES simulation with bin microphysics is used to unravel effects of 1D and 3D radiation on the dynamics and the diffusional growth. Although the differences in rain production are overall small, the authors conclude that radiative effects on microphysics increase the rain fraction but that a dynamic evaporation-circulation feedback can decrease rain amount.
