Stability of Marine Cloud Layers: Computer Simulation and Experimental Verification

Abstract

Goals of this project are to identity physical processes that determine the dynamics of the marine-cloud layers and to quantity the roles of turbulence, convection and thermal radiation that play in formation, dissipation and stability of the marine cloud layers. Immediate objectives of our current research are to advance turbulence models, use efficient numerical scheme, develop computer simulation programs for the marine cloud layers and to compare computer results with published experimental data on the marine cloud layers so as to yield insights into the cloud's physical processes.
