Assessing regional scale predictions of aerosols, marine stratocumulus, and their interactions during VOCALS-REx using WRF-Chem [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2011
This study assesses the ability of the recent chemistry version (v3.3) of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF-Chem) model to simulate boundary layer structure, aerosols, stratocumulus clouds, and energy fluxes over the Southeast Pacific Ocean ...

Drizzle formation in stratocumulus clouds: effects of turbulent mixing [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2015
Abstract. The mechanism of drizzle formation in shallow stratocumulus clouds and the effect of turbulent mixing on this process are investigated. A Lagrangian-Eularian model of the cloud-topped boundary layer is used to simulate the cloud measured during flight RF07 of the DYCOMS-II field experiment.

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 ...

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.

Wind speed response of marine non-precipitating stratocumulus clouds over a diurnal cycle in cloud-system resolving simulations [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2016
Observed and projected trends in large-scale wind speed over the oceans prompt the question: how do marine stratocumulus clouds and their radiative properties respond to changes in large-scale wind speed?

Attributing Long‐Term Trends in Marine Low Cloud Morphologies to Aerosols and Large‐Scale Meteorology With Deep Learning

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract The response of marine low‐cloud mesoscale morphologies to climate change and emission reductions remains poorly understood. Here, we link long‐term trends in six cloud morphologies to variations in large‐scale meteorology and aerosols. The trends show strong spatial heterogeneity, with closed and disorganized mesoscale cellular convection ...

Cloud System Evolution in the Trades (CSET): Following the Evolution of Boundary Layer Cloud Systems with the NSFNCAR GV [PDF]

, 2019
The Cloud System Evolution in the Trades (CSET) study was designed to describe and explain the evolution of the boundary layer aerosol, cloud, and thermodynamic structures along trajectories within the North Pacific trade winds.

Pivotal Role of Cloud‐Planetary Boundary Layer Coupling to Explain Contrasting Aerosol‐Cloud Relationships

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract The radiative effect of aerosol on cloud albedo via altering cloud droplet effective radius (re) is a major uncertainty in the Earth's climate system. Remote sensing studies have reported either negative or positive relationships between re and aerosol number concentration (Na) or other aerosol proxies.

Overlooked examples of cloud self-organization at the mesoscale [PDF]

, 2004
Stratocumulus clouds are common in the tropical and subtropical marine boundary layer, and understanding these clouds is important due to their significant impact on the earth's radiation budget.
