Scope

      Clouds and turbulence are key phenomena in the weather forecast and climate prediction. The turbulent flow mixes dry air, water vapor, aerosols, and drops, and the drops grow or shrink through the microphysical processes such as condensation-evaporation and collision-coalescence which occur at scales below the Kolmogorov length, the smallest eddy size in turbulence. The processes disturb the flow at small scales and the disturbances spread over a wide range of space and time scales, resulting in the highly non-linear, non-equilibrium complex system, cloud turbulence. A central idea of the present workshop is from microscopic to macroscopic, from a few but fundamental processes to multiple complex systems, and to integrate them for deeper understanding and better predictions of cloud turbulence. New results obtained in state-of-the-art research on clouds and turbulence are gathered, shared and tied to inspire new ideas and developments in the cloud turbulence research.
