Abstract: The simulation of entrainment by an (E?l) turbulent kinetic energy?diagnostic length scale closure model is investigated in a smoke cloud convective boundary layer. The behavior of the E?l scheme is compared with two simple ...

Abstract: Various runs were performed with a large eddy simulation (LES) model to evaluate different types of entrainment parametrizations. For this evaluation, three types of boundary layers were simulated: a clear convective ...

Abstract: Data from recent field studies in the northeast and southeast Pacific are used to investigate pockets of open cells (POCs) that are embedded in otherwise uniform stratocumulus. The cellular structure within a POC resembles ...

Abstract: Cloud water sedimentation and drizzle in a stratocumulus-topped boundary layer are the focus of an intercomparison of large-eddy simulations. The context is an idealized case study of nocturnal stratocumulus under a dry ...
