متن کاملUnderstanding Near-Surface and In-cloud Turbulent Fluxes in the Coastal Stratocumulus-topped Boundary Layers
The objective of this project is to quantify the spatial and temporal variability of the turbulent fluxes in the Monterey Bay area. The analysis from this study provides the surface forcing to our collaborators (AOSN investigators) and enable us to understand these variabilities in relation to the sea states and the stratocumulus-topped marine atmospheric boundary layers (MABL) properties. The ...
متن کاملCloud transitions and decoupling in shear-free stratocumulus-topped boundary layers
Large-eddy simulations of shear-free stratocumulus-topped layers tend strongly toward a two-layer structure as the negative area in the buoyancy flux profile that would be necessary to maintain a mixed layer increases to more than 10% of the positive area. In addition to identifying a threshold for what amounts to a convective transition, the simulations provide further evidence that a commonly...
متن کاملTop-Hat Representation of Turbulence Statistics in Cloud-Topped Boundary Layers: A Large Eddy Simulation Study
Large eddy simulation is used to study top-hat parameterizations of secondand third-order scalar statistics in cumulus and stratocumulus cloud-topped boundary layers (CTBLs). Although the top-hat parameterizations based on commonly used conditional sampling methods are a useful approach to modeling the vertical fluxes in the simulated CTBLs, they fail to realistically represent the scalar varia...
متن کاملStochastic effects in the representation of stratocumulus-topped mixed layers
Stratocumulus clouds are an integral component of the climate system. They affect both its mean state and variability, and are central to many questions related to climate change. They are also very difficult to represent with fidelity in modern forecast systems and climate models. Their importance is associated with what one may call long-term climatic robustness, which is in marked contrast t...
