Transport and chemical transformations influenced by shallow cumulus over land
The distribution and evolution of reactive species in a boundary layer characterized by the presence of shallow cumulus over land is studied by means of two largeeddy simulation models: the NCAR and WUR codes. The study focuses on two physical processes that can influence the chemistry: the enhancement of the vertical transport by the buoyant convection associated with cloud formation and the p...
متن کاملPerformance of an Eddy Diffusivity–Mass Flux Scheme for Shallow Cumulus Boundary Layers
Comparisons between single-column (SCM) simulations with the total energy–mass flux boundary layer scheme (TEMF) and large-eddy simulations (LES) are shown for four cases from the Gulf of Mexico Atmospheric Composition and Climate Study (GoMACCS) 2006 field experiment in the vicinity of Houston, Texas. The SCM simulations were run with initial soundings and surface forcing identical to those in...
متن کاملCumulus Photogrammetric, In-situ and Doppler Observations: The CuPIDO 2006 Experiment
The fine-scale structure and dynamics of cumulus, evolving from shallow to deep convection, and the accompanying changes in the environment and boundary layer over mountainous terrain were the subjects of a field campaign in July-August 2006. Few measurements exist of the transport of boundary-layer air into the deep troposphere by the orographic toroidal circulation and orographic convection. ...
متن کاملA mass flux scheme view of a high-resolution simulation of a transition from shallow to deep cumulus convection
In this paper, an idealized, high-resolution simulation of a gradually forced transition from shallow, nonprecipitating to deep, precipitating cumulus convection is described; how the cloud and transport statistics evolve as the convection deepens is explored; and the collected statistics are used to evaluate assumptions in current cumulus schemes. The statistical analysis methodologies that ar...
متن کاملFluctuations in a quasi-stationary shallow cumulus cloud ensemble
We propose an approach to stochastic parameterisation of shallow cumulus clouds to represent the convective variability and its dependence on the model resolution. To collect information about the individual cloud lifecycles and the cloud ensemble as a whole, we employ a large eddy simulation (LES) model and a cloud tracking algorithm, followed by conditional sampling of clouds at the cloud-bas...
