Combining regional mesh refinement with vertically enhanced physics to target marine stratocumulus biases as demonstrated in the Energy Exascale Earth System Model version 1 [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2023 In this paper we develop a novel framework aimed to significantly reduce biases related to marine stratocumulus clouds in general circulation models (GCMs) while circumventing excessive computational cost requirements.

Resolving Away Stratocumulus Biases in Modern Global Climate Models
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 Increased horizontal and vertical resolution in global atmospheric models can reduce a significant amount of the biases associated with subtropical marine stratocumulus. The sensitivity of offshore and coastal marine stratocumulus to different horizontal

Monthly Weather Review, 2020 Stratocumulus clouds constitute one of the largest negative climate forcings in the global radiation budget. This forcing is determined, inter alia, by the cloud liquid water path (LWP), which we analyze using a combination of Gaussian process ...

Solar geoengineering may not prevent strong warming from direct effects of CO2 on stratocumulus cloud cover. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2020 Significance Solar geoengineering that manipulates the amount of sunlight Earth absorbs is increasingly discussed as an option to counter global warming.

Deconvolution of boundary layer depth and aerosol constraints on cloud water path in subtropical stratocumulus decks [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2020 The liquid water path (LWP) adjustment due to aerosol–cloud interactions in marine stratocumulus remains a considerable source of uncertainty for climate sensitivity estimates.

Simulation of Mesoscale Cellular Convection in Marine Stratocumulus: 2. Nondrizzling Conditions
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2019 This is the second of two large‐eddy simulation studies on the mechanisms of mesoscale cellular organization in drizzling (open cells) and nondrizzling marine stratocumulus (closed cells).

DNS and LES for Simulating Stratocumulus: Better Together
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2018 We argue that combining direct numerical simulation (DNS) with large‐eddy simulation (LES) and field studies could accelerate current lines of stratocumulus research.

Cloud-Top Entrainment in Stratocumulus Clouds
Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2017 Cloud entrainment, the mixing between cloudy and clear air at the boundary of clouds, constitutes one paradigm for the relevance of small scales in the Earth system: By regulating cloud lifetimes, meter- and submeter-scale processes at cloud boundaries can influence planetary-scale properties.
