Evaluating the Collision‐Coalescence Process in Idealized Cloud Convection Using Large‐Eddy Simulations With Lagrangian Microphysics

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Drizzle initiation through the collision and coalescence of cloud droplets plays a crucial role in warm cloud precipitation. Recent theoretical studies suggest that the influence of collisional growth on the droplet size distribution can be quantified by a non‐dimensional drizzle number (Dz).

Improved Simulation of Seasonal Variation of Arctic Low Clouds by Resolving Subgrid Open Water Fluxes to the Atmosphere in CESM2

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Open water in sea ice significantly influences Arctic low‐cloud formation. However, current global climate models (GCMs), constrained by grid‐scale coupling between the atmosphere and surface components, cannot resolve subgrid heat fluxes and clouds contrasts between open water and sea ice, contributing to biases in Arctic low‐cloud ...

Incorporating Particle Settling Enhancement in a Coarse‐Mode Deposition Model

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Dry deposition rates are usually assumed to rely primarily on gravitational settling, with some enhancement due to interactions with surface elements. However, it is known through experiment, theory, and simulation that vertical velocities of particles in turbulent flows can be enhanced by hydrodynamic effects (often referred to as ...

Understanding the Evolution of Global Atmospheric Rivers With a Vapor Kinetic Energy Framework

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Atmospheric rivers (ARs) often cause damaging winds, rainfall, and floods. However, the physical mechanisms governing their evolution remain poorly understood. To close this gap, we perform a global Vapor Kinetic Energy (VKE) budget analysis. Using two formulations of VKE, we show that ARs are governed by similar mechanisms regardless of ocean
