A Numerical Study of Cloud Groups

Abstract

The main objectives of the research were to develop realistic model for an individual thunderstorm cell, and to investigate the relationships between the large-scale meteorological fields and cumulus cloud ensembles so that the parameterization for cumulus clouds in a global circulation model may be improved on a more scientifically sound basis.
