Entrainment and Mixing in Stratocumulus: Effects of a New Explicit Subgrid-Scale Scheme for Large-Eddy Simulations with Particle-Based Microphysics

Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2019
The entrainment and mixing of free-tropospheric air is an essential component of the observed microphysical structure of stratocumulus clouds. Since the relevant scales involved in this process are usually smaller than the grid spacing of typical large-

Attributing Long‐Term Trends in Marine Low Cloud Morphologies to Aerosols and Large‐Scale Meteorology With Deep Learning

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract The response of marine low‐cloud mesoscale morphologies to climate change and emission reductions remains poorly understood. Here, we link long‐term trends in six cloud morphologies to variations in large‐scale meteorology and aerosols. The trends show strong spatial heterogeneity, with closed and disorganized mesoscale cellular convection ...

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 ...

The effects of turbulent collision–coalescence on precipitation formation and precipitation-dynamical feedbacks in simulations of stratocumulus and shallow cumulus convection [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2014
A double moment warm rain scheme that includes the effects of turbulence on droplet collision rates has been implemented in a large-eddy model to investigate the impact of turbulence effects on clouds and precipitation. Simulations of shallow cumulus and

Pivotal Role of Cloud‐Planetary Boundary Layer Coupling to Explain Contrasting Aerosol‐Cloud Relationships

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract The radiative effect of aerosol on cloud albedo via altering cloud droplet effective radius (re) is a major uncertainty in the Earth's climate system. Remote sensing studies have reported either negative or positive relationships between re and aerosol number concentration (Na) or other aerosol proxies.

Simulation of marine stratocumulus using the super-droplet method: numerical convergence and comparison to a double-moment bulk scheme using SCALE-SDM 5.2.6-2.3.1 [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development
The super-droplet method (SDM) is a Lagrangian particle-based numerical scheme for cloud microphysics. In this work, a series of simulations based on the DYCOMS-II (RF02) setup with different horizontal and vertical resolutions are conducted to explore ...

The Cumulus And Stratocumulus CloudSat-CALIPSO Dataset (CASCCAD)

Earth System Science Data, 2019
. Low clouds continue to contribute greatly to the uncertainty in cloud feedback estimates. Depending on whether a region is dominated by cumulus (Cu) or stratocumulus (Sc) clouds, the interannual low-cloud feedback is somewhat different in both ...

Low Cloud Dispersion Effects by Anthropogenic Aerosols in Polluted Air

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Aerosol–cloud interactions (ACI) are a major source of uncertainty in anthropogenic climate forcing. Anthropogenic aerosols modulate the cloud albedo by impacting the relative dispersion (ε) of cloud droplet size distributions (CDSDs), known as the dispersion effect.
