Modeling Water Vapor and Clouds in an Idealized GCM
3 This paper introduces an idealized general circulation model (GCM) in which water vapor 4 and clouds are tracked as tracers, but are not allowed to affect circulation either through 5 latent heat release or cloud radiative effects. The cloud scheme includes an explicit treatment 6 of cloud microphysics and diagnoses cloud fraction from a prescribed sub-grid distribution 7 of total water. The ...
متن کاملTreatments of Inhomogeneous Clouds in a GCM Column Radiation Model
The main purpose of this abstract is to evaluate the performance under inhomogeneous cloud conditions of the Column Radiation Models (CORAMs) developed by Chou and collaborators (see references), and used in various NASA-Goddard General Circulation Models (GCMs). Testing more sophisticated research versions of the CORAM that account for cloud inhomogeneity is secondary, and relevant findings wi...
متن کاملModeling and performance analysis of large scale IaaS Clouds
For Cloud based services to support enterprise class production workloads, Mainframe like predictable performance is essential. However, the scale, complexity, and inherent resource sharing across workloads make the Cloud management for predictable performance difficult. As a first step towards designing Cloud based systems that achieve such performance and realize the service level objectives,...
متن کاملSimulations of plasma clouds in the midlatitude E region ionosphere with implications for type I and type II quasiperiodic echoes
The electrodynamics of clouds of enhanced plasma density in the the postsunset midlatitude E region ionosphere are simulated in three dimensions. Such clouds become polarized in the presence of a background electric field, as would be imposed by the F region dynamo. If the clouds are elongated so that their major and minor axes in the horizontal plane are much larger and smaller than about 1 km...
متن کاملModeling Clouds Shape
We propose a model for representing the shape of cumulus clouds. We draw on several approaches that we combine and extend: We store a hierarchy of quasi-spherical particles (or blobs) living on top of each other. The shape of these particles is defined by an implicit field which deforms under the influence of neighbor particles. We define a set of shaders to simulate a volumetric appearance in ...
