Cloud‐aerosol interactions for boundary layer stratocumulus in the Lagrangian Cloud Model
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2010 Lagrangian Cloud Model (LCM) is a mixed Eulerian/Lagrangian approach to atmospheric large eddy simulation (LES), with two‐way coupling between Eulerian dynamics and thermodynamics and Lagrangian microphysics. Since Lagrangian representation of microphysics does not suffer from numerical diffusion in the radius space and solves full droplet growth ...

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

Why is height-dependent mixing observed in stratocumulus clouds? [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and PhysicsRecent aircraft measurements in stratocumulus clouds suggest that entrainment mixing is inhomogeneous (IM) near cloud top and homogeneous (HM) within the cloud.

On the importance of cumulus penetration on the microphysical and optical properties of stratocumulus clouds [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2005 Owing to their extensive spatial coverage, stratocumulus clouds play a crucial role in the radiation budget of the earth. Climate models need an accurate characterisation of stratocumulus in order to provide an accurate forecast.

Relationship between drizzle rate, liquid water path and droplet concentration at the scale of a stratocumulus cloud system [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2008 The recent ACE-2, EPIC and DYCOMS-II field experiments showed that the drizzle precipitation rate of marine stratocumulus scales with the cloud geometrical thickness or liquid water path, and the droplet concentration, when averaged over a domain typical
