Abstract

Abstract A numerical cloud modeling project has been initiated as part of METROMEX. A two-dimensional time-dependent model of a vertical slice of the atmosphere has been applied to investigations of cumulus initiation in the St. Louis area on 7 and 10 August 1973. The results indicate that on these days the urban-related surface temperature distribution was a significant factor in determining the location of cumulus initiation. This result is supported by field observations from METROMEX.
