Relevance of the Mesoscale Entrainment Instability to the Marine Cloud-topped Atmospheric Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mesoscale variability in entrainment across the inversion capping the cloud-topped atmospheric boundary layer (CTBL) has been proposed as an explanation for mesoscale variability in cloud thickness. The relevance of this ...
Numerical Simulations and a Conceptual Model of the Stratocumulus to Trade Cumulus Transition
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A two-dimensional eddy-resolving model is used to study the transition from the stratocumulus topped boundary layer to the trade cumulus boundary layer. The 10-day simulations use an idealized Lagrangian trajectory ...
