A simplified model for the formation, movement, and dissipation of fair weather cumulus clouds
Keyword(s):
Certain patches of ground are favorable to the formation of fair weather cumulus clouds. These are patches which reflect rather than absorb solar heat. As the air above these patches is warmed, it will rise and, if the humidity is sufficient, the cooling effect of higher elevation will cause formation of a cloud of the type known as the fair weather cumulus. This fact is used in the present paper to develop a stochastic model for the temporal evolution of the contribution to cloud cover by fair weather cumuli.
