RISEvaluation of Parametric Assumptions for Shallow Cumulus Convection
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A large-eddy simulation (LES) model has been utilized to study nonprecipitating Shallow Convective clouds such as observed during the undisturbed BOMEX period in the trade wind areas. By choosing a realistic large-scale ...
Model Impacts of Entrainment and Detrainment Rates in Shallow Cumulus Convection
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A mass flux parameterization scheme for shallow cumulus convection is evaluated for a case based on observations and large eddy simulation (LES) results for the Barbados Oceanographic and Meteorological Experiment (BOMEX). ...
Constraining a System of Interacting Parameterizations through Multiple-Parameter Evaluation: Tracing a Compensating Error between Cloud Vertical Structure and Cloud Overlap
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study explores the opportunities created by subjecting a system of interacting fast-acting parameterizations to long-term single-column model evaluation against multiple independent measurements at a permanent ...
Continuous Single-Column Model Evaluation at a Permanent Meteorological Supersite
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ties in numerical predictions of weather and climate are often linked to the representation of unresolved processes that act relatively quickly compared to the resolved general circulation. These processes include turbulence, ...
Factors Controlling Rapid Stratocumulus Cloud Thinning
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he relationship between the inversion stability and the liquid water path (LWP) tendency of a vertically well-mixed, adiabatic stratocumulus cloud layer is investigated in this study through the analysis of the budget ...
An Evaluation of Mass Flux Closures for Diurnal Cycles of Shallow Cumulus
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Three closure methods for the mass flux at cloud base in shallow cumulus convection are critically examined for the difficult case of a diurnal cycle over land. The closure methods are first evaluated against large-eddy ...
Size Statistics of Cumulus Cloud Populations in Large-Eddy Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cloud size distributions of shallow cumulus cloud populations are calculated using the large-eddy simulation (LES) approach. A range of different cases is simulated, and the results are compared to observations of real ...
A Multiparcel Model for Shallow Cumulus Convection
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new parameterization for cumulus convection is formulated, that consists of an ensemble of small, rising parcels. Large eddy simulation (LES) results are used to parameterize the lateral mixing of such a parcel: for the ...
Simulation of a Stratocumulus-Topped Planetary Boundary Layer: Intercomparison among Different Numerical Codes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper reports an intercomparison study of a stratocumulus-topped planetary boundary layer (PBL) generated from ten 3D large eddy simulation (LES) codes and four 2D cloud-resolving models (CRMs). These models vary in ...
