Abstract: A new cloud model that combines a three-dimensional nonhydrostatic dynamical framework with explicit liquid- and ice-phase microphysics and a detailed treatment of ice nucleation and multiplication processes is presented. ...

Abstract: Monotonicity constraints and gradient-preserving flux corrections employed by many advection algorithms used in atmospheric models make these algorithms nonlinear. Consequently, any relations among model variables transported ...

Abstract: The relationship between hemispherical sky cover and nadir-view cloud fraction is examined by using both model simulations and surface observations. Monte Carlo simulations of ground-based hemispherical measurements are ...

Abstract: A new 3D model with explicit liquid- and ice-phase microphysics and a detailed treatment of ice nucleation and multiplication processes is applied to study ice formation and evolution in cumulus clouds. Simulation results ...

Abstract: In a recently developed approach to climate modeling, called the multiscale modeling framework (MMF), a two-dimensional cloud-resolving model (CRM) is embedded into each grid column of the Community Atmospheric Model (CAM), ...

Abstract: The importance of multidimensional (MD) longwave radiative effects on cloud dynamics is evaluated in an eddy-resolving model (ERM)?the two-dimensional analog to large-eddy simulation (LES)?framework employing multidimensional ...
