Numerical simulation of clouds and precipitation depending on different relationships between aerosol and cloud droplet spectral dispersion [PDF]

, 2013
The aerosol effects on clouds and precipitation in deep convective cloud systems are investigated using the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model with the Morrison two-moment bulk microphysics scheme.

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.

A Dynamical Model for the Shallow‐to‐Deep Transition of Amazonian Moist Atmospheric Convection

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract The development of deep convection and the timing of storm convection initiation over land are generally poorly represented by weather and climate models, probably due to the poor representation of the interaction between shallow and deep convection.

Assessment of the performance of the Chilbolton 3-GHz Advanced Meteorological radar for cloud-top height retrieval [PDF]

, 2005
The Chilbolton 3-GHz Advanced Meteorological Radar (CAMRa), which is mounted on a fully steerable 25 metre dish, can provide three-dimensional information on the presence of hydrometeors.

Multiple‐scale simulations of stratocumulus clouds [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2010
This study introduces a flexible multiple nested modeling framework developed from the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model for boundary layer cloud research. It features a nested large‐eddy simulation in a hindcasting mode that allows a direct comparison between simulations and observations.

Diverse Cloud Regimes in the Northeast Pacific: Evaluating a Mesoscale NWP Model With Shipborne Observations

Meteorological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Weather prediction and climate models need to simulate clouds of a variety of types. Here we evaluate how well a near‐operational version of such a model simulates clouds in the northeastern Pacific Ocean region. Aspects of the model, including the vertical and horizontal grid spacing and internal formulation, affect the results, and the model errors ...

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).

Airborne Passive Microwave Retrievals of Cloud Liquid Water, Total Precipitable Water, and Near‐Surface Wind Speed in the Maritime Tropics

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract This paper describes improvements to geophysical retrievals from NASA's Advanced Microwave Precipitation Radiometer (AMPR) during the Cloud, Aerosol and Monsoon Processes Philippines Experiment (CAMP2Ex). The retrieved products are validated using independent data sets, and example applications in addressing science questions about the ...
