Presenting a case for molecular scales in atmospheric models

Written by
Dr Adrian Tuck proposes that atmospheric modelling could be improved by a bottom-up approach that takes into account molecular processes, which gives a greater understanding of turbulence

Modelling Earth’s atmosphere is a monumentally difficult task, and atmospheric scientists have long faced challenges in accurately recreating the large-scale processes they observe in real life. Dr Adrian Tuck, a retired former visiting professor at Imperial College London, proposes that models could be improved by accounting for processes which take place on molecular scales. Through a better explanation of the […]
