example: application to 2D prescribed-flow <strong>simulations</strong><br />

a kinematic model:<br />

• <strong>as</strong>sumed dry air density pr<strong>of</strong>ile<br />

• prescribed velocity field (steady state)<br />

• µ-physics decoupled from flow dynamics!<br />

• simple, robust, computationally cheap<br />

• free from numerical/dynamical subtleties<br />

• naïve yet useful:<br />

• development and testing <strong>of</strong> cloud µ-physics models a ,<br />

hypothesis testing <strong>for</strong> cloud processes b<br />

• studying <strong>of</strong> aerosol processing by clouds (ongoing work)<br />

• development aid <strong>for</strong> remote sensing retrieval algorithms<br />
