Abstract: A high-resolution one-dimensional version of a second-order turbulence radiative?convective model, developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory, is used to simulate the diurnal cycle of the marine stratocumulus cloud-capped ...

Abstract: A high-resolution one-dimensional version of a second-order turbulence closure radiative-convective model, developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory, is used to simulate the interactions among turbulence, radiation, and ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional ensemble-mean atmospheric model, with simplified second-moment turbulence closure equations and a statistical treatment for the condensation process, is used to simulate a fair weather marine boundary ...

Abstract: The impact of using grid-averaged thermodynamic properties (i.e., neglecting their subgrid variability due to partial cloudiness) to represent forcings for condensation or evaporation has long been recognized. In particular, ...

Abstract: A 40-yr integration is conducted using the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Community Climate Model Version 2 (CCM2). The simulation was forced by observed monthly global sea surface temperature (SST) changes ...
