Sentences with phrase «simulate small clouds»

If the model is configured to simulate small clouds or turbulence with a grid spacings of 100 m or less we usually refer to this as a «large eddy simulation» (LES).

Not exact matches

The simulated image at left shows how the smaller particle size in Venusian cloud tops (compared to a typical 10 to 40 micrometers in terrestrial ones) causes the colored fringes to spread further apart than they would appear on Earth.
Earth system models integrate atmospheric, oceanic, chemical, and biological processes, many of which are too complex or occur at scales too small to simulate directly (e.g., formation of individual clouds).
Aerosols and cloud processes vary on much smaller time and space scales than climate models can simulate.
Climate models can not simulate clouds explicitly because their dynamic scales (10 - 100 m) are much smaller than typical length scales of climate model grid boxes (25 - 100 km).
This discrepancy is associated with simulated increases in daily maximum temperature being larger than observed, and could be associated with simulated increases in cloud cover being smaller than observed (Braganza et al., 2004; see Section 3.4.3.1 for observations), a result supported by other analyses (Dai et al., 1999; Stone and Weaver, 2002, 2003).
Earth system models integrate atmospheric, oceanic, chemical, and biological processes, many of which are too complex or occur at scales too small to simulate directly (e.g., formation of individual clouds).
We use the large - eddy simulation code PyCLES to simulate the dynamics of clouds and boundary layers, to elucidate their response to climate changes, and to develop closure schemes for representing their smaller - scale dynamics in larger - scale climate and weather forecasting models.
Radiative convective models in small domains, no matter what the resolution, do not simulate the spatial inhomogeneities and convective structures that occur in the tropics, and should not be thought of as providing quantitative simulations of tropically - averaged clouds (or relative humidity for that matter).
