Does 3D Radiative Transfer impact cloud evolution?
Earlier studies suggest radiation may affect
I cloud evolution and lifetime
I microphysical processes (condensation, nucleation)
I precipitation onset/amount
I convective organization
Can we model radiative transfer in the atmosphere?

Couple Paramterizations to Atmospheric Model
TenStream solver and NCA coupled to the UCLA-LES
I use LES to model atmospheric flow with resolutions from
10 m to 1 km
I consider dynamics, turbulence, microphysics and radiation
I TenStream solver increases total model runtime by factor 3-5
I NCA only factor 1.5-2 more expensive
