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.

Disentangling Anthropogenic Effects on Southern Hemisphere Circulation and Surface Climate: A Multi‐Model Large Ensemble Approach

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Southern Hemisphere (SH) circulation and surface climate changes are emerging in recent decades. For example, in most seasons, the SH Hadley cell edge and the eddy‐driven jet stream have shifted polewards, and the Southern Annular Mode (SAM) has trended towards its positive phase.

Sea Surface Temperature Feedbacks and Convective Organization Mediate the Tropical Circulation Response to Aerosols

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Coupling between aerosols, atmospheric circulation, and tropical sea surface temperature (SST) patterns is an important part of anthropogenic influence on climate but is not well understood. Using idealized, cloud‐resolving simulations with a slab ocean, we examine the hydrologic and circulation responses to uniform and spatially varying ...

An emulator approach to stratocumulus susceptibility [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2019
Abstract. The climatic relevance of aerosol-cloud interactions depends on the sensitivity of the radiative effect of clouds to cloud droplet number N and liquid water path LWP. We derive the dependence of cloud fraction CF, cloud albedo AC and the relative cloud radiative effect rCRE = CF · AC on N and LWP from 159 large-eddy simulations of nocturnal ...

Sensitivity of Stratocumulus–Cumulus Transitions in a Cloudy Energy Balance Model

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems
Stratocumulus (Sc) clouds have high impact on the climate system because of their strong cooling effect (albedo). In the subtropical oceans they naturally break up into cumulus (Cu) as environmental conditions change, a phenomenon called Stratocumulus ...

Unifying Observations, Simulations, and Theory for Drizzle Size Distribution Tails

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract The onset and rate of drizzle remain open problems in atmospheric physics. This study brings together theory, simulations, and observations to analyze the emergence of power‐law tails in droplet size distributions as a signature of a dynamic steady state with coalescence growth balanced by sedimentation removal.

Note on stratocumulus instability

Tellus A: Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 1981
With the exception of a few numerical modeling studies (e.g. Oliver et al., 1978), investigations of the stratocumulus-topped planetary boundary layer have evolved from Lilly’s (1968) mixed-layer approach (e.g. Schubert, 1976; Deardorff, 1976; Kraus and Schaller, 1978; Schubert et al., 1979a,b).

Anisotropy of Observed and Simulated Turbulence in Marine Stratocumulus

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2018
Anisotropy of turbulence near the top of the stratocumulus‐topped boundary layer (STBL) is studied using large‐eddy simulation (LES) and measurements from the POST and DYCOMS‐II field campaigns.
