Cloud Structure and Entrainment in Marine Atmospheric Boundary Layers

Abstract

Our long term goals are to understand the dynamics of atmospheric motions on scales of order 10 m-10 km in sufficient detail to be able to provide a consistent subgrid scale model that will represent the influence of turbulent transport across a range of scales.
