Zooming Out - Understanding Cloud Systems From Complex & Idealized Models

Explore cloud systems through complex and idealized models in this 30-minute conference talk by Fabian Hoffmann from the University of Munich. Recorded as part of the "Atmospheres, Oceans, Earths -- Unifying perspectives on geophysical and environmental multiphase flows" conference at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, delve into the multi-scale and multi-physics nature of multiphase geophysical flows. Gain insights from field observations, laboratory experiments, numerical simulations, and theoretical approaches that have advanced our understanding of geophysical and environmental fluid flows involving bubbles, drops, and particles. Discover common approaches to studying phenomena ranging from cloud dynamics to granular material transport over complex and erodible surfaces. This talk contributes to the conference's goal of bringing together experts in particle- and droplet-laden flows in the geosciences to foster interdisciplinary discussions and collaborations.
