Abstract
The article investigates the role of the cloud system properties based on a comparison of the results of calculations of the formation and development of clouds corresponding to the real and model structures of the wind field in the atmosphere. In this case, the hierarchy property is considered, i.e., the interaction of convective clouds with the surrounding atmosphere, due to the structure of the wind field in the atmosphere. A three-dimensional unsteady model of thunderstorm clouds with a detailed account of microphysical processes was used for the research. The results of numerical experiments are presented in order to study the role of the interaction of convective clouds with the surrounding atmosphere.
