DISSIPATION OF STRATUS CLOUDS IN A TURBULENT ATMOSPHERE

Abstract

The report contains the horizontal dissipation of a spatially homogeneous stratus cloud in a turbulent atmosphere, in which isothermy, an inversion in the supracloud layer, and downdrafts are present; the time required for total dissipation of the cloud is computed.
