Cloud & Aerosol Processes: Models

Large Eddy model

Regional Atmospheric Modeling System in large eddy simulation mode (RAMS/LES). A scalable model operated in LES mode with coupled dynamics, size resolved microphysics, and aqueous sulfate chemistry.

Parcel model

Adiabatic cloud parcel model including size-resolved microphysics and gas and aqueous phase chemistry. Aerosol/cloud droplets resolved in size categories on a moving grid scale.

WRF-Chem

The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model is a numerical weather prediction and atmospheric simulation system designed for both research and operational applications. WFR-Chem model provides a capability for air chemistry modeling.
