Abstract: A warm rain parameterization has been developed by solving the stochastic collection equation with the use of turbulent collision kernels. The resulting parameterizations for the processes of autoconversion, accretion, and ...

Abstract: Collision statistics of cloud droplets in turbulent flow have been calculated for 12 droplet size combinations in four flow fields with levels of the eddy dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy ranging from 95 to ...

Abstract: A high-resolution tropical cyclone model with explicit cloud microphysics has been used to investigate the dynamics and energetics of tropical cyclone rainbands. As a first step, the model rainbands have been qualitatively ...

Abstract: A high-resolution tropical cyclone model with explicit cloud microphysics has been used to investigate the dynamics and energetics of tropical cyclone rainbands. Analysis of the vorticity interactions that occur within the ...

Abstract: Prediction of the effect of air turbulence on statistics relevant to a collision?coalescence process represents a key challenge in the modeling of cloud microphysics. In this paper, collision-related statistics for ...

Abstract: Direct numerical simulations of an evolving turbulent flow field have been performed to explore how turbulence affects the motion and collisions of cloud droplets. Large numbers of droplets are tracked through the flow ...

Abstract: deficit of shortwave cloud forcing over the Southern Ocean is persistent in many global climate models. Cloud regimes have been widely used in model evaluation studies to make a process-oriented diagnosis of cloud ...

Abstract: he goal of this chapter is to synthesize information about what is now known about one of the three main types of clouds, cirrus, and to identify areas where more knowledge is needed. Cirrus clouds, composed of ice particles, ...
