Aerosol-Cloud-Drizzle-Turbulence Interactions in Boundary Layer Clouds

Abstract

The long term-goal of this project is to provide an improved description and understanding of the effects of aerosol-cloud interactions and drizzle and entrainment processes in boundary layer clouds for the purpose of developing, improving, and evaluating cloud and boundary layer representations in LES, mesoscale and large-scale forecast models.
