Midlatitude Aerosol-Cloud-Radiation Feedbacks Mechanisms in Marine Stratocumulus Clouds

Abstract

The development and improvement of cloud microphysical and radiative parameterizations for use in mesoscale models. Investigation of marine stratocumulus clouds microphysics and radiative processes using the CIMMS LES model with explicit microphysics and radiation. The data from FIRE II/ASTEX and MAST field experiments will be used to validate the model and to improve our understanding of the interactions between the microphysical, radiative, and thermodynamical processes.
