Abstract: he mechanism behind the collapse of turbulence in the evening as a precursor to the onset of the very stable boundary layer is investigated. To this end a cooled, pressure-driven flow is investigated by means of a local ...

Abstract: Cloud size distributions of shallow cumulus cloud populations are calculated using the large-eddy simulation (LES) approach. A range of different cases is simulated, and the results are compared to observations of real ...

Abstract: A new parameterization for cumulus convection is formulated, that consists of an ensemble of small, rising parcels. Large eddy simulation (LES) results are used to parameterize the lateral mixing of such a parcel: for the ...

Abstract: he collapse of turbulence in the nocturnal boundary layer is studied by means of a simple bulk model that describes the basic physical interactions in the surface energy balance. It is shown that for a given mechanical ...
