Radiative Fluxes and Precipitation in Warm Clouds

本研究的目的是分析和解释在加利福尼亚州圣尼古拉斯岛附近进行的FIRE期间进行的辐射观测。这些结果应该有助于描述平流层云在改变大气中太阳和地面辐射方面的作用。第二个目标是利用夏威夷的云微物理观测，致力于确定进入最终以雨形式降落的对流云的水的比例。//

The objective of this research is the analysis and interpretation of radiation observations made during the FIRE conducted near San Nicolas Island, California. The results should help to describe the role of strato-form clouds in modifying both solar and terrestrial radiation in the atmosphere. A second objective, using cloud microphysical observations from Hawaii, is devoted to the determination of the fraction of water entering a convective cloud which eventually falls as rain.//
