Marine stratocumulus cloud characteristics from multichannel satellite measurements [PDF]

, 1990
Understanding the effects of aerosols on the microphysical characteristics of marine stratocumulus clouds, and the resulting influence on cloud radiative properties, is a primary goal of FIRE.

Importance of composition and hygroscopicity of BC particles to the effect of BC mitigation on cloud properties: Application to California conditions [PDF]

, 2012
Black carbon (BC) has many effects on climate including the direct effect on atmospheric absorption, indirect and semi-direct effects on clouds, snow effects, and others.

Evaluation of the ECHAM4 cloud-turbulence scheme for Stratocumulus

Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 2000
The behavior of the ECHAM4 cloud and turbulence scheme is evaluated for an idealized case of Stratocumulus. It is shown that the E-l turbulence closure that is used is sensitive to instabilities.

The Two‐Energies Turbulence Scheme Coupled to the Assumed PDF Method

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2022
An update of the two‐energy turbulence scheme is presented, the 2TE + APDF scheme. The original version of the two‐energy scheme is able to successfully model shallow convection without the need of an additional parameterization for non‐local fluxes ...

Understanding Biases in Simulated Cloud Radiative Effects in E3SMv3

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract This study systematically investigates biases in cloud radiative effects (CREs) within the recently released Energy Exascale Earth System Model version 3 (E3SMv3). Compared to its previous version (E3SMv2), E3SMv3 shows excessively strong shortwave CRE over tropical and subtropical oceans, the Southern Ocean, and the Northern Hemisphere storm ...

CGILS Phase 2 LES intercomparison of response of subtropical marine low cloud regimes to CO2 quadrupling and a CMIP3 composite forcing change

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2016
Phase 1 of the CGILS large‐eddy simulation (LES) intercomparison is extended to understand if subtropical marine boundary‐layer clouds respond to idealized climate perturbations consistently in six LES models.

Anthropogenic Air Pollution Delays Marine Stratocumulus Breakup to Open Cells

Geophysical Research Letters, 2019
Marine stratocumulus cloud (Sc) decks with high cloud fraction typically breakup when sufficient drizzle forms. Cloud breakup leads to a lower cloud radiative effect due to the lower cloud amount.

Implementation of a Novel Nonlinear Cloud Droplet Spectrum Dispersion Parameterization in Large‐Eddy Model and Its Effects on Cloud and Fog Simulations

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The relative dispersion of the cloud droplet spectrum (ε) is a key parameter that characterizes the spectral shape. Uncertainties in its parameterization can introduce significant biases in the simulation of cloud and fog microphysical and optical properties, making its accurate diagnosis in models critically important.
