ABSTRACT
The motions of the atmosphere are governed by physical laws which are expressed in the form of the equations of hydrodynamics and thermodynamics. These equations are, in principle, well known, but some of the physical processes in the atmosphere, such as small-scale turbulence and convection, cloud formation, and precipitation mechanisms, are still difficult to express quantitatively.
