Assimilation of Satellite Cloud Data into the GMAO Finite-Volume Data Assimilation System Using a Parameter Estimation Method. Part I: Motivation and Algorithm Description
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: General circulation models are unable to resolve subgrid-scale moisture variability and associated cloudiness and so must parameterize grid-scale cloud properties. This typically involves various empirical assumptions and ...
Diurnal Evolution of the Cloud-Topped Marine Boundary Layer. Part I: Nocturnal Stratocumulus Development
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The structure and evolution of the extratropical marine atmosphere boundary layer (MABL) depend largely on the variability of stratus and stratocumulus clouds. Stratus clouds are generally associated with a well-mixed MABL, ...
