RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN TROPICAL PRECIPITATION AND KINEMATIC CLOUD MODELS

Abstract

During May, June, and July, 1962, previously unpublished material was collected, organized, and submitted to the Monthly Weather Review under the title Elementary Theory of Associations between Atmospheric Motions and Distributions of Water Content. Also, a theory of the relationships among cloud, precipitation, vapor, and air motions, which includes a quantitative modeling of the bulk effects of many processes of cloud and precipitation physics, was completed. The theory is formulated in two continuity equations that describe the development of vapor, cloud, and precipitation distribution when initial and boundary conditions and the wind field are prescribed.
