Framework for idealized climate simulations with spatiotemporal stochastic clouds and planetary-scale circulations

T Huang, SN Stechmann, JL Torchinsky - Physical Review Fluids, 2022 - APS
In climate predictions, clouds are the leading source of uncertainty. This is partly because, to
simulate the fluid dynamics of climate over the entire globe, a large grid spacing must be …

The Majda-Biello system on the half-line
