Abstract: he components of the land surface energy balance respond to periodic incoming radiation forcing with different amplitude and phase characteristics. Evaporative fraction (EF), the ratio of latent heat to available energy ...

Abstract: AbstractThe role of surface friction on shallow nonprecipitating convection is investigated using a series of large-eddy simulations with varying surface friction velocity and with a cloud identification algorithm. As ...

Abstract: oherent structures, such as updrafts, downdrafts/shells, and environmental subsidence in the boundary and cloud layers of shallow convection, are investigated using a new classification method. Using large-eddy simulation ...

Abstract: AbstractThe properties of coherent convective structures are analyzed in a nonprecipitating marine nocturnal stratocumulus-topped boundary layer (STBL) with a series of high-resolution large-eddy simulations (LESs). A new ...

Abstract: he inversion layer (IL) of a clear-sky, buoyancy-driven convective boundary layer is investigated using large-eddy simulations covering a wide range of convective Richardson numbers. A new model of the IL is suggested and ...

Abstract: he evolution of El Niño can be separated into two phases?namely, growth and mature?depending on whether the regional sea surface temperature has adjusted to the tropospheric warming in the remote tropics (tropical regions ...

Abstract: lthough land?atmosphere coupling is thought to play a role in shaping the mean climate and its variability, it remains difficult to quantify precisely. The present study aims to isolate relationships between early morning ...

Abstract: adiative?convective equilibrium (RCE) describes an idealized state of the atmosphere in which the vertical temperature profile is determined by a balance between radiative and convective fluxes. While RCE has been applied ...

Abstract: nderstanding how different physical processes can shape the probability distribution function (PDF) of surface temperature, in particular the tails of the distribution, is essential for the attribution and projection of ...

Abstract: ultiple metrics have been developed in recent years to characterize the strength of land?atmosphere coupling in regional and global climate models. Evaluation of these metrics against observations has proven challenging ...
