Clouds are not only a mesmerizing spectacle in the sky but also a crucial player in Earth's atmospheric dynamics. Among the many types of clouds, cumulus clouds stand out because of their pivotal role in regulating weather patterns and climate. One of the fundamental processes that shape the development of cumulus clouds is entrainment mixing, where surrounding air interacts with the cloud, influencing its growth and properties.
Accurately quantifying the rate of entrainment holds the key to improving our understanding of cloud behavior and ultimately enhancing weather and climate models., has taken a significant step forward in unraveling the complexities of entrainment mixing within cumulus clouds. This research introduces an innovative approach, an improved"bulk-plume method," which tackles the challenge of calculating the entrainment rate by simultaneously solving equations for two conserved variables.
The outcomes of this study present compelling evidence of the efficacy of the improved bulk-plume method. The calculated rates of entrainment falls within the range of those values obtained from a traditional method that employs different conserved variables. Notably, the entrainment rates obtained from various times and heights of cumulus cloud exhibit a consistent log-normal distribution pattern, reaffirming the stochastic nature of the entrainment process.
