Modeling Of Arctic Stratus Cloud Formation And The Maintenance Of The Cloudy Arctic Boundary Layer
The formation of Arctic stratus clouds #ASCs# and the maintenance of the cloudy Arctic boundary layer are studied with two models: a one-dimensional radiative-convective model and a three-dimensional large eddy simulation #LES# model. The one-dimensional radiative-convective model consists of a comp...
