This is an updated and revised second edition of the book
presenting new developments in the field of cloud-resolving
modeling. The first edition of the book introduces the framework of
cloud-resolving model, methodologies for analysis of modeling
outputs, and validation of simulations with observations. It
details important scientific findings in the aspects of surface
rainfall processes, precipitation efficiency, dynamic and
thermodynamic processes associated with tropical convection,
diurnal variations, radiative and cloud microphysical processes
associated with development of cloud clusters, air-sea coupling on
convective scales, climate equilibrium states, and remote sensing
applications. In additional to the content from the first edition
of the book, the second edition of the book contains the new
scientific results in the development of convective-stratiform
rainfall separation scheme, the analysis of structures of
precipitation systems, the thermal effects of doubled carbon
dioxide on rainfall, precipitation predictability, and modeling
depositional growth of ice crystal. The book will be beneficial
both to graduate students and to researchers who do cloud,
mesoscale and global modeling.
