The Numerical Simulation of Marine Boundary Layer Clouds

Abstract

The primary objectives of the research are to numerically simulate stratus, stratocumulus, and cumulus clouds in the marine boundary layer. This includes the formation, evolution, and dissolution of the clouds and the area covered, then the change from one type of cloud to another would be investigated. Also the change from open cell to closed cell type convection and the formation of cloud streets could investigated
