Abstract

Spatial buoyancy-helical distributed chaos (turbulence) in the cumulus, stratiform, stratocumulus, cirrus and cirrus mammatus clouds have been studied using results of direct numerical simulations and measurements in cloudy atmosphere. It is shown that in the considered cases the moments of helicity distribution dominate the kinetic energy spectra both in the middle of the clouds and in the cloud-top regions.
