  We present a high-order discontinuous Galerkin (DG) solver of the
compressible Navier-Stokes equations for cloud formation processes. The scheme
exploits an underlying parallelized implementation of the ADER-DG method with
dynamic adaptive mesh refinement. We improve our method by a PDE-independent
general refinement criterion, based on the local total variation of the
numerical solution. While established methods use numerics tailored towards the
specific simulation, our scheme works scenario independent. Our generic scheme
shows competitive results for both classical CFD and stratified scenarios. We
focus on two dimensional simulations of two bubble convection scenarios over a
background atmosphere. The largest simulation here uses order 6 and 6561 cells
which were reduced to 1953 cells by our refinement criterion.
