On the Structure of the Lower Troposphere in the Summertime Stratocumulus Regime of the Northeast Pacific [PDF]

, 2007
Data collected in situ as part of the second field study of the Dynamics and Chemistry of Marine Stratocumulus field program are used to evaluate the state of the atmosphere in the region of field operations near 30°N, 120°W during July 2001, as well as ...

Coupling a new turbulence parametrization to RegCM adds realistic stratocumulus clouds [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development, 2012
To model stratocumulus clouds in the regional climate model, RegCM4.1, the University of Washington (UW) turbulence parametrization has been coupled to RegCM.

Kernel‐Based Estimation of Stratospheric Aerosol Radiative Effects From Volcanic and Wildfire Events

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract To facilitate the quantification of the stratospheric aerosol direct radiative effect (ARE), this study develops a suite of aerosol kernels based on Modern‐Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2 reanalysis data. The kernels comprise a five‐dimensional data set that includes latitude, longitude, time, wavelength ...

Coupled Map Modeling for Cloud Dynamics [PDF]

, 1996
A coupled map model for cloud dynamics is proposed, which consists of the successive operations of the physical processes; buoyancy, diffusion, viscosity, adiabatic expansion, fall of a droplet by gravity, descent flow dragged by the falling droplet, and

A First Look at the Global Climatology of Low‐Level Clouds in Storm Resolving Models

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems
The representation of subtropical stratocumulus and trade‐wind cumulus clouds by preliminary versions of Integrated Forecasting System (IFS) and ICON km‐scale global coupled climate models is explored.

The Role of Sea Breeze in the Coastal Stratocumulus Dissipation Transition in Antofagasta and San Diego

Atmosphere
Coastal Stratocumulus clouds have a diurnal cycle influenced by solar heating and sea-breeze dynamics. These clouds typically thin after sunrise, and some of them fragment and then dissipate, a transition that has proven difficult to predict.

The relative impact of cloud condensation nuclei and ice nucleating particle concentrations on phase partitioning in Arctic mixed-phase stratocumulus clouds

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2018
. This study investigates the interactions between cloud dynamics and aerosols in idealized large-eddy simulations (LES) of Arctic mixed-phase stratocumulus clouds (AMPS) observed at Oliktok Point, Alaska, in April 2015.

Biases in Southern Ocean Precipitation From Shallow Convection: The Role of Cloud Morphology

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Precipitation from marine boundary layer clouds is a critical yet highly uncertain feature of post‐frontal conditions over the Southern Ocean (SO), where shallow convection dominates. This study evaluates whether satellite retrievals (GPM‐IMERG and CloudSat) and reanalysis (ERA5) represent the contrasting precipitation between open and closed ...

Exposing and Reducing Biases of Simulating Mixed‐Phase Clouds in the Convection‐Permitting E3SM Atmosphere Model: Lessons From an Arctic Cold‐Air Outbreak

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Mixed‐phase clouds modulate the water and energy cycles of high‐latitude regions, yet their liquid‐ice phase partitioning has long been poorly simulated in climate models. Here, simulations of Arctic mixed‐phase clouds by the Simple Cloud‐Resolving E3SM Atmosphere Model (SCREAM) are assessed against large‐eddy simulations, satellite data, and ...
