Abstract: A one-dimensional thermodynamic model for a partially mixed, partly cloudy, convective boundary layer (CBL) is coupled to a radiation model to compute equilibrium solutions for a tropical CBL and troposphere in energy ...

Abstract: An idealized energy-balance model for a closed circulation is first presented to illustrate the coupling between the net tropospheric radiative cooling, the surface fluxes and the mean subsidence away from the precipitation ...

Abstract: A mixing-line boundary-layer model is used to retrieve cloud-top height from satellite-derived cloud-top temperature using 700-hPa National Meteorological Center (NMC) analyses and the Comprehensive Ocean and Atmosphere ...
