“…However, due to the temporal and spatial inconsistency of multiple source observations and observational devices [31][32][33][34][35][36][37] deployed at different locations, this study can only focus on the sea of clouds process with wide coverage, investigate its micro-physical characteristics, and further propose the possible mechanism of the sea of clouds. In fact, clouds and fog formed in the morning and at nightfall are often confined to a small area.…”

The micro-physical characteristics of a typical sea of clouds process in Jiuxian Mountain are investigated by comprehensively analyzing parameters that delineate the micro-physical characteristics of clouds and atmospheric stratification based on data from a cloud radar, wind profiler, meteorological gradient observation in high mountains, and other observations. The results show that water vapor condenses into cloud particles via an entrained and mixing process accompanied by an updraft originating from orographic uplift. During the thickening stage of the sea of clouds, atmospheric motion within the clouds is featured as “downdraft on the top—updraft on the bottom”. The zero vertical velocity area is located closely to the maximum of liquid water content. The thermal inversion layer is formed during the maintenance stage; however, the enhancement of inversion on the cloud top could suppress updraft in areas with a high liquid water content. The values mainly concentrate on the cloud top, and repetitively lifting and falling processes caused by the atmospheric upward and downward motion are in favor of the coalescence growth of cloud particles, which result in the persistence of strong radar echo. At the dissipation stage, warming on the cloud top is greater than that on the cloud bottom due to the short-wave absorption of clouds as the solar radiation enhances. As a result, the inversion layer thickens and elevates, evaporation caused by heating outweighs the condensation caused by cooling, a strong radar echo band descends from the top to the middle part of clouds, a sea of clouds dissipates gradually as cloud particles evaporates, and the particle size and concentration number of cloud particles decrease simultaneously.

“…Here, С i , i=1, ..., m = 4, according to (12), represent the capacity of the chair lifts that should strive for the highest possible value, while it is not possible to supply the ski slopes with a flow of skiers that exceeds the capacity of them. It should be noticed that the capacity of the ski slope should not be exceeded even in the case of closing one of the ski slopes that is supplied by the same chair lift.…”

“…In that case, the open ski slopes that are in service should not be overloaded. The flow of skiers should not be higher than the maximum availability of the ski slopes (Poulhès & Miria, 2017;Revilloud et al, 2011). For this reason, the sizing of the chair lifts is realized in the stated way.…”

Zlatar Ski Center has an extremely high potential as a ski resort that could be among the most visited ones in Serbia. What characterizes this center is the proximity of Kokin Brod Lake, the Tara River and the like. Therefore, Zlatar should be considered both as a ski center and in terms of other diversities. The aim of this paper is to analyze the possibility of expanding the capacity of ski resorts by increasing the possible flow of skiers on new ski lifts and ski slopes. The methods used in this paper belong to operational research, specifically, the geometric interpretation of linear programming. It is also shown how to optimize the extended capacities. If the capacities of ski slopes are to be increased, it would initiate greater investment in accommodation capacities in the area of the municipality of Nova Varoš, which would affect its improvement in terms of tourism.
