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.

The Sensitivity of Numerical Simulations of Cloud‐Topped Boundary Layers to Cross‐Grid Flow
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2018 In mesoscale and global atmospheric simulations with large horizontal domains, strong horizontal flow across the grid is often unavoidable, but its effects on cloud‐topped boundary layers have received comparatively little study.

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2017 How subtropical marine boundary layer (MBL) clouds respond to warming is investigated using large‐eddy simulations (LES) of a wide range of warmer climates, with CO2 concentrations elevated by factors 2–16. In LES coupled to a slab ocean with interactive

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 Lower‐tropospheric stability (LTS) and estimated inversion strength (EIS) have a widely accepted relationship with low cloud amount and are key observational foundations for understanding and modeling low‐level stratiform clouds.

Cloud Processing of Aerosol Particles in Marine Stratocumulus Clouds [PDF]
Atmosphere, 2019 Cloud processing of aerosol particles is an important process and is, for example, thought to be responsible for the so-called “Hoppel-minimum” in the marine aerosol particle distribution or contribute to the cell organization of marine boundary layer clouds. A numerical study of the temporal and spatial scales of the processing of aerosol particles by

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2016 Large‐eddy simulation (LES) of clouds has the potential to resolve a central question in climate dynamics, namely, how subtropical marine boundary layer (MBL) clouds respond to global warming.

The Cumulus And Stratocumulus CloudSat-CALIPSO Dataset (CASCCAD) [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2019 Low clouds continue to contribute greatly to the uncertainty in cloud feedback estimates. Depending on whether a region is dominated by cumulus (Cu) or stratocumulus (Sc) clouds, the interannual low-cloud feedback is somewhat different in both spaceborne

Cloud-Top Entrainment in Stratocumulus Clouds
Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2017 Cloud entrainment, the mixing between cloudy and clear air at the boundary of clouds, constitutes one paradigm for the relevance of small scales in the Earth system: By regulating cloud lifetimes, meter- and submeter-scale processes at cloud boundaries can influence planetary-scale properties.

In‐cloud turbulence structure of marine stratocumulus [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2010 This study quantifies the level of turbulence inside the marine stratocumulus cloud deck over Pt. Reyes, CA, during the Marine Stratus Radiation, Aerosol, and Drizzle Experiment (MASRAD) in July 2005, and identifies the dominant sources of turbulent kinetic energy.
