Abstract
Results of several three-dimensional, high resolution numerical simulations of convective clouds and the model generated turbulence locations and intensities within the clouds are presented, and the model results compared to actual observations gathered in field programs. Gross properties of the cloud appear to be correctly captured by the model. However, turbulence locations and intensities were found to be sensitive to details of the cloud microphysics parameterizations. Wind and turbulence fields from these simulations are being used as input into radar turbulence algorithms and for aircraft response studies as part of the NASA Aviation Safety Program.
