Abstract: The paper extends Deardorff's general structure parameterization for a shear-free convective boundary layer. The model suggested employs the mixed layer hypothesis that the buoyancy (which is defined as b = g(?0 ? &rho)/?0, ...

Abstract: The turbulence closure problem for convective boundary layers is considered with the chief aim to advance the understanding and modeling of nonlocal transport due to large-scale semiorganized structures. The key role here ...

Abstract: model evaluation approach is proposed in which weather and climate prediction models are analyzed along a Pacific Ocean cross section, from the stratocumulus regions off the coast of California, across the shallow convection ...
