Cloud Geometry Effects on Atmospheric Solar Absorption
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A 3D broadband solar radiative transfer scheme is formulated by integrating a Monte Carlo photon transport algorithm with the Fu?Liou radiation model. It is applied to fields of tropical mesoscale convective clouds and ...
Modeling a Stratocumulus-Topped PBL: Intercomparison among Different One-Dimensional Codes and with Large Eddy Simulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Several one-dimensional (1D) cloud/turbulence ensemble modeling results of an idealized nighttime marine stratocumulus case are compared to large eddy simulation (LES). This type of model intercomparison was one of the ...
Temperature and Water Vapor Variance Scaling in Global Models: Comparisons to Satellite and Aircraft Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: bservations of the scale dependence of height-resolved temperature T and water vapor q variability are valuable for improved subgrid-scale climate model parameterizations and model evaluation. Variance spectral benchmarks ...
Rain in Shallow Cumulus Over the Ocean: The RICO Campaign
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Shallow, maritime cumuli are ubiquitous over much of the tropical oceans, and characterizing their properties is important to understanding weather and climate. The Rain in Cumulus over the Ocean (RICO) field campaign, ...
