摘要：
The geometrical properties of cumulus clouds modeled by a numerical technique called large-eddy simulation are investigated. Surface-volume analyses reconfirm previous sealing results based on satellite data. This technique allows for the first time a direct analysis of the scaling behavior of cloud boundaries uf individual clouds.
