Modeling a Stratocumulus-Topped PBL: Intercomparison among Different One-Dimensional Codes and with Large Eddy Simulation
Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society rameterization schemes for use in general circulation models (GCMs) and (ii) to develop new parameterization schemes based on numerical data generated from large eddy simulations (LESs) or cloud resolving models (CRMs) (Browning 1993). While 3D LESs can explicitly resolve most of the turbulent eddies, CRMs, which resolve only large cloud elements,...
متن کاملCharacteristics of vertical velocity in marine stratocumulus: comparison of large eddy simulations with observations
We simulated a marine stratus deck sampled during the Marine Stratus/Stratocumulus Experiment (MASE) with a three-dimensional large eddy simulation (LES) model at different model resolutions. Various characteristics of the vertical velocity from the model simulations were evaluated against those derived from the corresponding aircraft in situ observations, focusing on standard deviation, skewne...
متن کاملAirborne Radar Observations of Non-drizzling Marine Stratocumulus
As part of the Dynamics and Chemistry of Marine Stratocumulus-II (DYCOMS-II) experiment in July 2001, nighttime observations were made in the vicinity of 31°N latitude and 122°W longitude. Main features of the study are given by Stevens et al, 2003. Observations were made with the NSF/NCAR C-130 aircraft carrying cloud physics probes, aerosol and trace gas (O3, DMS) instrumentation, the SABL li...
متن کاملLarge-eddy Simulations of Stratocumulus to Cumulus Transition
The vast fields of subtropical marine stratocumulus off the western coasts of continents are known for their persistent existence. In these regions, the large-scale subsidence associated with Hadley circulation provides favorable conditions for the formation of strong inversion, which separates moist and cool stratocumulustopped boundary layer (STBL) from dry and warm free atmosphere above. A q...
متن کاملWall-layer Models for Large-eddy Simulations
■ Abstract Because the cost of large-eddy simulations (LES) of wall-bounded flows that resolve all the important eddies depends strongly on the Reynolds number, methods to bypass the wall layer are required to perform high-Reynolds-number LES at a reasonable cost. In this paper the available methodologies are reviewed, and their ranges of applicability are highlighted. Various unresolved issues...
