Dynamics of Marine Cloud Layers: Computer Simulation and Experimental Verification.

Abstract

Goals of this research have been to identify physical processes that determine the dynamics of the marine cloud layers and to quantify roles of turbulence, convection and thermal radiation that play in formation, dissipation and stability of the marine cloud layers. And immediate objectives of the research are to advance turbulence models, use efficient numerical schemes, develop computer simulation programs, simulate the marine cloud layers and compare computer results with published experimental data on the marine cloud layers so as to yield insights into the cloud's physical processes.
