Evolution of convective clouds in terms of the general systems theory
Abstract
Some features (laws) of the evolution of convective clouds fit into and are summarized in terms of a simple "resourceconsumer" Lotka – Volterra model. Based on this model, taking into account the revealed system-wide patterns, we analyze the possibility of an impact on convective clouds to control their intensity (redistribution of precipitation, hail suppression).
