Droplet growth in warm turbulent clouds

BJ Devenish, P Bartello, JL Brenguier… - Quarterly Journal of …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
In this survey we consider the impact of turbulence on cloud formation from the cloud scale
to the droplet scale. We assess progress in understanding the effect of turbulence on the …

Cloud-top entrainment in stratocumulus clouds

JP Mellado - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2017 - annualreviews.org
Cloud entrainment, the mixing between cloudy and clear air at the boundary of clouds,
constitutes one paradigm for the relevance of small scales in the Earth system: By regulating …
