Modeling Of Cloud Droplet Formation: Software Development And Sampling Strategies, Niklas Selke May 2020

Modeling Of Cloud Droplet Formation: Software Development And Sampling Strategies, Niklas Selke

Theses and Dissertations

Updraft speeds are an important factor in the formation of cloud droplets which play an important role in an atmospheric simulation. The updraft speeds are varying very strongly in small areas of space. Current models do not account for this kind of variability. Support for a probability density function (PDF) based approach in representing the variability of the updraft speeds has been implemented in the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM). Specifics of the implementation process have been discussed.

Different sampling strategies were tested to analyze the convergence behavior of the new approach to the cloud droplet formation process. It …


An Analysis Of Momentum Flux Budgets And Profiles In A Large-Eddy Model, Steffen Domke May 2019

An Analysis Of Momentum Flux Budgets And Profiles In A Large-Eddy Model, Steffen Domke

Theses and Dissertations

Momentum fluxes and variances play an important role in the characterization and forecast of weather phenomena, but cannot be measured easily.

A subdivision of the flux changes into budget terms by the underlying physical processes, such as buoyancy transport, can assist in understanding their sources and influences.

Momentum flux and variance budgets for SAM, the System for Atmospheric Modeling, have been implemented and are compared to existing budgets from other simulations.

A tool for the visualization of these quantities from three-dimensional grid data has been developed to show and explain their distribution in conjunction with shallow cumulus and stratocumulus clouds. …
