Chapter 1
Overview of Cloud Dynamics
Chapter 1: Overview of Cloud Dynamics
 Cloud Dynamics: The study of the evolution of clouds including their
formation and dissipation mechanisms, cloud air motions and the
forces creating those motions. Cloud dynamics is a macroscopic view
of clouds from an ensemble perspective.
 Cloud Microphysics: the detailed examination of individual cloud
particle physics. This is more a microscopic understanding of clouds.
 Convective Clouds: “Wet chemical reactors”—transforming particles and
gases into acid precipitation. Important vertical transport of heat,
moisture, gases, aerosols and momentum from the Earth’s surface to the
low, middle, and upper troposphere, and even the lower stratosphere.
Chapter 1: Overview of Cloud Dynamics
 Layer Clouds: Important radiative properties for climate and the global
heat budget. Much larger coverage.
 Cumulus clouds: primarily buoyancy-driven clouds. An ascending
parcel cools adiabatically, increasing the relative humidity, and once the
RH is ~100%, hygroscopic aerosol particles take on water vapor and form
cloud droplets.
 Lagrangian time scale (Tp): the time it takes a parcel of air to enter the
base of a cloud and exit the top.
 Total lifetime of the cloud (TL)

proportional to the change in energy or the work done during
the process
(in fact, designation thermodynamic diagram is reserved for
only those in which area is proportional to work or energy)
 As many as possible of the fundamental lines be straight
 The angle between the isotherms and the dry adiabats shall be
