Midlatitude Aerosol-Cloud-Radiation Feedbacks in Marine Boundary Layer Clouds

Abstract

Conduct detailed studies of marine stratocumulus cloud microphysical processes in order to achieve a better understanding of interactions between microphysical, radiative and boundary layer thermodynamical processes and to improve their formulation in numerical weather prediction models. Develop parameterizations of individual cloud physics processes for use in numerical weather prediction models
