Abstract: As a continuation of the effort to develop an improved cloud model of cumulus parameterization, this study investigates entrainment profiles of the cumulus ensembles simulated by a cloud-resolving model (CRM). The simulated ...

Abstract: To provide a basis for developing an improved cloud model for use in cumulus parameterization (CMCP), a two-dimensional cloud-resolving model is used to simulate the bulk properties of cloud roots. Two idealized experiments ...

Abstract: Parameterization of cumulus convection requires a model that describes the statistical properties of a cumulus ensemble under given large-scale conditions. Such a model is called a cloud model for cumulus parameterization ...

Abstract: According to Part I of this paper, it seems that ignoring the contribution from descendent cloud air in a cloud model for cumulus parameterization (CMCP), such as the spectral cumulus ensemble model in the Arakawa?Schubert ...

Abstract: The constraint on the coupled vertical profiles of cumulus heating and drying, which can be used as a partial closure in cumulus parameterization, is examined using observational data from convectively active regions in ...
