Light Scattering in a Turbulent Cloud: Simulations to Explore Cloud-Chamber Experiments

Light Scattering in a Turbulent Cloud: Simulations to Explore Cloud-Chamber Experiments

Radiative transfer through clouds can be impacted by variations in particle number size distribution, but also in particle spatial distribution. Due to turbulent mixing and inertial effects, spatial correlations often exist, even on scales reaching the cloud droplet separation distance. The resultin...
