Abstract: suite of limited-area test cases for the solution of the shallow water (SW) equations on the plane and sphere is collected and evaluated using the Model for Prediction Across Scales (MPAS) modeling system. Included are ...

Abstract: The evolution of mean relative humidity (RH) is studied in an isobaric system of clear and cloudy air mixed by an incompressible velocity field. A constant droplet radius assumption is employed that implies a simple ...

Abstract: The narrow bipolar event (NBE) is a unique lightning discharge that has a short (?10 ?s) overall duration, lacks a prior leader phase, and produces too little light output to be visible by optical lightning detectors on ...

Abstract: Comparative studies of global climate models have long shown a marked sensitivity to the parameterization of cloud properties. Early attempts to quantify this sensitivity were hampered by diagnostic schemes that were ...

Abstract: The theory of stochastic condensation, which models the impact of an ensemble of unresolved supersaturation fluctuations S? on the volume-averaged droplet-size distribution f?(r), is revisited in the modern context of ...
