Exploring Aerosol-Cloud-Precipitation Feedbacks on Marine Low Cloud Induced by Natural and Anthropogenic Perturbations in a Cloud Resolving Model

Abstract

This dissertation describes the development of a single mode bulk aerosol model for warm rain microphysics and its application within a cloud resolving model for the simulation of aerosol-cloud-precipitation interactions in the marine boundary layer as exemplified in pockets of open cells and ship tracks.
