Parameterization of Integrated Aerosol Effects In Marine Stratocumulus Clouds

Abstract

The development and improvement of cloud microphysical parameterizations for use in cloud and numerical weather prediction models. The objectives are: a) Conduct detailed studies of marine stratocumulus cloud microphysical processes using a high-resolution large eddy simulation (LES) model with explicit microphysics. b) Achieve better understanding of interactions between microphysical, radiative and boundary layer thermodynamical processes in order to improve their formulation in numerical weather prediction models.
