Abstract: simple framework to study the sensitivity of atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) models to the large-scale conditions and forcings is introduced. This framework minimizes the number of parameters necessary to describe the ...

Abstract: he adjustment of the trade wind atmospheric boundary layer to an abrupt sea surface warming is investigated using a large-eddy simulation (LES) and two simple bulk models: a mixed-layer model (MLM), and a model based on ...

Abstract: he spurious double intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) is a systematic bias affecting state-of-the-art coupled general circulation models (GCMs). Modeling studies show that the ITCZ structure is very sensitive to moist ...

Abstract: Two-layer bulk models of the cloudy boundary layer are investigated, focusing on the consistency issues between common assumptions on the turbulent mixing and the thermodynamic profiles. Simplifications of the vertical ...

Abstract: A model of intermediate complexity based on quasi-equilibrium theory?a version of the quasi-equilibrium tropical circulation model with a prognostic atmospheric boundary layer, as well as two free-tropospheric modes in ...

Abstract: This paper examines the influence of imposed drying, intended to represent horizontal advection of dry air, on parameterized deep convection interacting with large-scale dynamics in a single-column model framework. Two ...
