Abstract: The cloud-topped mixed-layer theory developed by Lilly (1968) is employed in a slightly generalized form to simulate stratocumulus in the eastern North Pacific. The radiation parameterization involves cloud-top longwave ...

Abstract: A coupled, convective-radiative, boundary-layer model of marine stratocumulus clouds is presented. The model, which is a slight generalization of the cloud-topped, mixed-layer model of Lilly (1968), has as dependent variables ...

Abstract: Solutions of the horizontally inhomogeneous version of the coupled, convective-radiative, cloud-topped mixed-layer model described in Part I of this study are presented. Both numerical and approximate analytical methods ...
