Large-eddy simulation of subtropical cloud-topped boundary layers: 2. Cloud response to climate change
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 sea surface temperatures (SST), the surface latent heat flux (LHF) is constrained by the surface energy balance and only strengthens modestly ...
متن کاملMultiscale Asymptotics Analysis for the Mesoscale Dynamics of Cloud-Topped Boundary Layers
This paper presents the derivation of a model to explore the coupling between the dynamic and thermodynamic processes of a cloud-topped boundary layer on mesoscales using a formal multiscale asymptotic approach. The derived equations show how the anomalies in the heat, moisture, and mass budgets in the boundary layer affect boundary layer motions, and how these motions can organize and amplify ...
متن کاملUnderstanding Near-Surface and In-cloud Turbulent Fluxes in the Coastal Stratocumulus-topped Boundary Layers
The objective of this project is to quantify the spatial and temporal variability of the turbulent fluxes in the Monterey Bay area. The analysis from this study provides the surface forcing to our collaborators (AOSN investigators) and enable us to understand these variabilities in relation to the sea states and the stratocumulus-topped marine atmospheric boundary layers (MABL) properties. The ...
متن کاملTop-Hat Representation of Turbulence Statistics in Cloud-Topped Boundary Layers: A Large Eddy Simulation Study
Large eddy simulation is used to study top-hat parameterizations of secondand third-order scalar statistics in cumulus and stratocumulus cloud-topped boundary layers (CTBLs). Although the top-hat parameterizations based on commonly used conditional sampling methods are a useful approach to modeling the vertical fluxes in the simulated CTBLs, they fail to realistically represent the scalar varia...
