LES Modeling of Aerosol and Drizzle Effects in Marine Stratocumulus.

摘要

The development and improvement of cloud microphysical and radiative parameterizations for use in cloud and numerical weather prediction models. Study of marine stratocumulus cloud microphysical and radiative processes using a high-resolution large eddy simulation (LES) model with explicit microphysics. The objective of the project is to improve parameterizations of microphysical and radiative processes based on better understanding of interactions between these processes and boundary layer thermodynamics.
