Parameterization of Cumulus Convective Cloud Systems in Mesoscale Forecast Models

Yefim L. Kogan

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Abstract : Conduct detailed studies of cloud microphysical processes in order to develop a unified parameterization of boundary layer stratocumulus and trade wind cumulus convective clouds. Develop a parameterization of subgrid cloud variability that in combination with the unified parameterization of conversion/sedimentation rates will provide a complete formulation of microphysical processes in convective clouds for use in mesoscale forecast models. Test the parameterization using COAMPS model in simulations of convective cloud systems.
