Cloud Physics
A subdivision of physical
meteorology concerned with physical properties of clouds in the atmosphere
and the processes occurring therein.
Cloud physics, broadly considered, embraces not only the study of
condensation and precipitation processes in clouds, but also radiative
transfer, optical phenomena, electrical phenomena, and a wide variety of
hydrodynamic and thermodynamic processes peculiar to natural clouds.
