Is there any experirental evidence on the marnitude of

diffusion coefficient?
RATP?

No, there have been some estimates of diffusion coeffic
made from the clouds.

was chosen because this would give us a scale of motion malier
than the cloud and therefore not tear it up, but it was
biggest one that would give such a motion.

If we go te

larger diffusion coefficient the seale of the motion is gping
to be big enough to tear this cloud into little whiseps
pieces.

We didn’t want that te happen on this xodel.
