Entrapment: an important mechanism to explain the shortwave 3D radiative effect of clouds [PDF]
, 2019 Several mechanisms have previously been proposed to explain differences between the shortwave reflectance of realistic cloud scenes computed using the 1D independent column approximation (ICA) and 3D solutions of the radiative transfer equation. When the

Evaluating Precipitation Features and Rainfall Characteristics in a Multi-scale Modeling Framework [PDF]
, 2020 Cloud and precipitation systems over the tropics and subtropics are simulated with a multi-scale modeling framework (MMF) and compared against the TRMM radar precipitation features (RPFs) product.

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2023 Representing subgrid variabilities of land surface processes and their upscaled effects is crucial for global climate modeling. Here, we implement a multiple atmosphere multiple land (MAML) framework in the superparamaterized version of E3SM (SP‐E3SM) to

Equilibrium States Simulated by Cloud-Resolving Models
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 1999 Abstract Recently, several cloud-resolving models (CRMs) were used to study the tropical water and energy cycles and their role in the climate system. They are typically run for several weeks until modeled temperature and water vapor fields reach a quasi-equilibrium state.

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2023 Water isotopes are tracers of convective processes and are often used as proxies for past precipitation. These applications require a better understanding of the impact of convective processes on the isotopic composition of water vapor and precipitation.

Cloud Resolving Modeling of Contrail Evolution
, 2012 Contrails are ice clouds that form behind aircraft. As a result of burning kerosene in the engines, water vapor is emitted that rapidly freezes and forms ice crystals. If the atmosphere is sufficiently moist and cold, these contrails expand and persist for many hours.

Rotating radiative-convective equilibrium simulated by a cloud-resolving model [PDF]
, 2013 The results of a series of cloud-resolving radiative-convective equilibrium (RCE) simulations are presented. The RCE simulations, used as an idealization for the mean tropical climate, are run for a wide range of prescribed sea-surface temperatures (SSTs)

Potential Predictability of the Madden‐Julian Oscillation in a Superparameterized Model
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 The Madden‐Julian Oscillation (MJO) is a promising target for improving sub‐seasonal weather forecasts. Current forecast models struggle to simulate the MJO due to imperfect convective parameterizations and mean state biases, degrading their forecast ...

Multilayer cloud conditions in trade wind shallow cumulus – confronting two ICON model derivatives with airborne observations [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2020 Airborne remote sensing observations over the tropical Atlantic Ocean upstream of Barbados are used to characterize trade wind shallow cumulus clouds and to benchmark two cloud-resolving ICON (ICOsahedral Nonhydrostatic) model simulations at kilometer ...
