Abstract:

The interaction of the radiation fields with the microphysical and dynamical characteristics of clouds under conditions of artificial crystallization and complete dispersal of the clouds is investigated based on a two-dimensional mesoscale numerical model of cloud formation and precipitation developed by the authors (pp. 639-646 of this issue). Analysis of the results of the numerical experiment confirms the possibility that the optical, radiation, and thermodynamic parameters of the atmospheric boundary layer can be changed substantially in the case of artificial dispersal of the clouds, i.e., local change in the optical weather.
