Entraining Bubble Models<br />
• Cloud composed of discrete<br />
bubbles<br />
• Entrainment balances<br />
detrainment so mass stays<br />
constant<br />
• Entrainment dilutes<br />
– Buoyancy<br />
– Moisture<br />
– Upward momentum<br />
• Large bubbles entrain less per<br />
unit volume: Hot Towers<br />
• Detrained water moistens<br />
environment for next bubble<br />
• Hydrometeors fall out of the<br />
bottom of each bubble<br />
• Models based on these<br />
physics used to assess<br />
seeding efficacy
