New Developments and Old Questions in Multifractal Cloud Modeling, Satellite Retrievals and Anomalous Absorption

As the physical foundations can rely neither on a reduced set of deterministic-like equations (heavily truncated in order to fit the very limited size of [super-] computers and with a subsequent large number of ad-hoc parameterizations) nor on ad-hoc stochastic models (e.g., with parameters tuned up in an ad hoc way), one needs to consider stochastic models respecting the symmetries of the fundamental equations, in particular, the scale symmetries.
