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

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.

Simulations of cumulus clouds using a spectral microphysics cloud‐resolving model [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2007 We have investigated the effects of aerosols on the development of cumulus clouds using a two‐dimensional spectral‐bin cloud‐resolving model. A convective cloud event occurring on 24 August 2000 in Houston, Texas, was simulated and the model results were compared with available radar and rain gauge measurements.

Statistical properties of cloud lifecycles in cloud-resolving models [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2008 Abstract. A new technique is described for the analysis of cloud-resolving model simulations, which allows one to investigate the statistics of the lifecycles of cumulus clouds. Clouds are tracked from timestep to timestep within the model run. This allows for a very simple method of tracking, but one which is both comprehensive and robust. An approach

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)

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.

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 ...

A short review of numerical cloud-resolving models [PDF]
Tellus A: Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 2017 A cloud-resolving model (CRM) allows performing numerical simulations of convective clouds, such as shallow cumulus and stratocumulus, or storms and squall-lines with a resolution on the order of a few tens of metres to a few kilometres over a limited-area 4D (time and space) domain.
