This is an updated and revised second edition of the book presenting new developments in the
field of cloud-resolving modeling. The first edition of the book introduces the framework of
cloud-resolving model methodologies for analysis of modeling outputs and validation of
simulations with observations. It details important scientific findings in the aspects of
surface rainfall processes precipitation efficiency dynamic and thermodynamic processes
associated with tropical convection diurnal variations radiative and cloud microphysical
processes associated with development of cloud clusters air-sea coupling on convective scales
climate equilibrium states and remote sensing applications. In additional to the content from
the first edition of the book the second edition of the book contains the new scientific
results in the development of convective-stratiform rainfall separation scheme the analysis of
structures of precipitation systems the thermal effects of doubled carbon dioxide on rainfall
precipitation predictability and modeling depositional growth of ice crystal. The book will be
beneficial both to graduate students and to researchers who do cloud mesoscale and global
modeling.
