Clouds: Their Prediction and Simulation
Abstract
Mesoscale forecasts of several FIRE II cirrus events has been repeated using newly developed microphysics schemes. Boundary layer cloud fractional coverage schemes has been tested for one of the FIRE I stratocumulus cases in which there was a transition from solid stratocumulus to broken cumuli. RAMS ability to simulate ordinary deep convective clouds has been evaluated for one of the CaPE case over the Kennedy Space Flight Center. New modules for cloud microphysics and radiation transfer have been written and the impacts of those schemes on cloud forecasting will be evaluated in the future.
