Abstract: The UCLA/GLA general circulation model has been endowed with new parameterizations of solar and terrestrial radiation, as well as new parameterized cloud optical properties. A simple representation of the cloud liquid water ...

Abstract: We have analyzed the effects of radiatively active clouds on the climate simulated by the UCLA/GLA GCM, with particular attention to the effects of the upper tropospheric stratiform clouds associated with deep cumulus ...

Abstract: The UCLA general circulation model (GCM) has been used to simulate the seasonally varying planetary boundary layer (PBL), as well as boundary-layer stratus and stratocumulus clouds. The PBL depth is a prognostic variable ...
