Fitting Cumulus Cloud Size Distributions From Idealized Cloud Resolving Model Simulations
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2023 Whereas it is now widely accepted that cumulus cloud sizes are power‐law distributed, characteristic exponents reported in the literature vary greatly, generally taking values between 1 and >3.

Global Cloud-Resolving Models [PDF]
Current Climate Change Reports, 2019 Global cloud-resolving models (GCRMs) are a new type of atmospheric model which resolve nonhydrostatic accelerations globally with kilometer-scale resolution. This review explains what distinguishes GCRMs from other types of models, the problems they solve, and the questions their more commonplace use is raising.

Impact of different definitions of clear-sky flux on the determination of longwave cloud radiative forcing: NICAM simulation results [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2010 Using one month of the cloud-resolving Nonhydrostatic Icosahedral Atmospheric Model (NICAM) simulations, we examined the impact of different definitions of clear-sky flux on the determination of longwave cloud radiative forcing (CRF).

Initialization and dynamical stabilization of a cloud-resolving model
Physics Open, 2022 A multiscale cloud-resolving model (CRM) composed of the anelastic grid equations coupled to viscous turbulence subgrid equations for the wind velocity is presented along with an initialization and dynamical stabilization method named Insertion & ...

Understanding Negative Subtropical Shallow Cumulus Cloud Feedbacks in a Near‐Global Aquaplanet Model Using Limited Area Cloud‐Resolving Simulations [PDF]
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2019 Limited area cloud‐resolving model (CRM) simulations called LASAM are used to reproduce and understand negative subtropical shallow cumulus cloud feedbacks in a near‐global aquaplanet CRM (NGAqua) with 4‐K sea surface temperature (SST) warming.

Convection‐Permitting Simulations With the E3SM Global Atmosphere Model
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2021 This paper describes the first implementation of the Δx = 3.25 km version of the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) global atmosphere model and its behavior in a 40‐day prescribed‐sea‐surface‐temperature simulation (January 20 through February 28,

The Fractal Nature of Clouds in Global Storm‐Resolving Models [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 AbstractClouds in observations are fractals: they show self‐similarity across scales ranging from 1 to 1,000 km. This includes individual storms and large‐scale cloud structures typical of organized convection. It is not known whether global storm‐resolving models reproduce the observed fractal scaling laws for clouds and organized convection.
