The shown time period spans approx. 80 minutes, the shown region is of size 1.4 km x 1.4 km in the horizonzal and 1.5 km in the vertical direction. The clouds are represented through the liquid water content. Darker (gray) shades refer to a higher water content than white shades. The background scenary here is not physical and used for decorational reasons only. ||||='''Model Setup''' =|| ||Total domain size (x|y|z):||4096m x 4096m x 1900m|| ||Grid spacing (x|y|z):||4m x 4m x 4m|| ||Number of grid points (x|y|z):||1024 x 1024 x 448|| ||Simulated time:||2h|| ||CPU-time:||6.5h|| ||Number of CPUs:||1024|| ||Machine/ processor type:||SGI Altix ICE at [https://www.hlrn.de/home/view/Service HLRN]|| ||Visualization software:||VAPOR|| \\ ||||||='''Download''' =|| ||Video Format ||File size || ||Flash (.flv) || 3.9mb||[[htdocs:gallery/movies/cloud1_flash.flv|Download]] || ||MPEG (.avi) || 3.6mb||[[htdocs:gallery/movies/cloud1_mpeg.avi|Download]] || \\ }}} ||||='''Second sequence''' =|| {{{#!td style="vertical-align:top; border: 0px solid" {{{#!html }}} }}} {{{#!td style="vertical-align:top; border: 0px solid"" '''Project:''' [[wiki:imuk/projects/2008_02|Investigations on in-cloud turbulence effects on drop growth and precipitation formation]]\\ \\ '''Responsible:''' [[imuk/members/franke|Theres Riechelmann]], [[imuk/members/maronga|Björn Maronga]]\\ \\ '''Description:''' \\ As sequence one, but a different cloud at a different location.
