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

Scaling of Drizzle Virga Depth With Cloud Thickness for Marine Stratocumulus Clouds
Geophysical Research Letters, 2018 Drizzle is frequently observed in marine stratocumulus clouds and plays a crucial role in cloud lifetime and the radiation budget. Most drizzling stratocumulus clouds form drizzle virga below cloud base, where subcloud scavenging and evaporative cooling ...

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.

Atmosphere, 2022 The below-cloud irradiance in The Netherlands increased by over 10 Wm−2 in the past half century. It was hypothesized that this could be due to a decrease in the aerosol serving as cloud condensation nuclei, on which the cloud droplets form, in the ...

Influences of an entrainment–mixing parameterization on numerical simulations of cumulus and stratocumulus clouds [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2022 Different entrainment–mixing processes can occur in clouds; however, a homogeneous mixing mechanism is often implicitly assumed in most commonly used microphysics schemes.
