Scientists accurately model the action of aerosols on clouds

Science Daily  March 8, 2018
The action of aerosols is an important element of research on climate change, as they partially counteract the heating action of greenhouse gases. Using the K computer, researchers in Japan combined a model that simulates the entire global weather over a year taking into account the vertical processes inside clouds, accurately modelling the microphysics of clouds, giving a more accurate picture of how clouds and aerosols behave in the real world. The explicit representation of cloud microphysics in global scale modelling reduces the uncertainty of climate prediction… read more. Open Access TECHNICAL ARTICLE
