Modeling of Cloud Scale Turbulent Transport

Abstract

Our long term goals are to understand the dynamics of atmospheric motions on scales of 10 kilometers and less in sufficient detail to be able to provide a consistent subgrid scale turbulent closure for models across a range of scales, and to be able to utilize simulated variances as a measure of forecast predictability
