Resources for the physics of clouds

[Josh0768]

TL;DR

General inquiry on resources for physics of clouds

Does anyone know of any good papers/lectures/textbooks/etc that discuss the physical and mathematical principles that explain the structure and motion of clouds? Thanks.

A Springer book:

and a lecture series:

and a Nature article:

https://www.nature.com/articles/174957a0

From there can one go outside and ponder the vastness of the sky and the clouds that float effortlessly forever on a journey of discovery.

Ack. The incredibly ironic part of your post is that I had to Google that acronym. I'm getting dizzy.

I hate google.
You have to have the knowledge to know what's pertinent.

I always thought the Bible on this was Prupacher and Klett
