Scattering of Visible Radiation by Finite Clouds
Thomas B. McKee,Stephen K. Cox +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical model of the scattering of shortwave radiation is applied to clouds finite in horizontal extent, and the resulting irradiance patterns are then compared with calculations for horizontally semi-infinite clouds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cirrus Clouds. Part I: A Cirrus Cloud Model
David Oc. Starr,Stephen K. Cox +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a two-dimensional (x, z), time-dependent, numerical cloud model is developed for the purpose of investigating the role of various physical processes involved in the maintenance of cirriform clouds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Marine Stratocumulus Convection. Part I: Governing Equations and Horizontally Homogeneous Solutions
TL;DR: In this article, a coupled, convective-radiative, boundary-layer model of marine stratocumulus clouds is presented, which is a slight generalization of the cloud-topped, mixed layer model of Lilly (1968).
Journal ArticleDOI
Cirrus Clouds. Part II: Numerical Experiments on the Formation and Maintenance of Cirrus
David Oc. Starr,Stephen K. Cox +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the role of various physical processes in the formation and maintenance of cirrus clouds is investigated and the effect of micro-physical composition, i.e., crystal habit and size distribution, are found to be quite important in determining the overall cloud water budget.
Journal ArticleDOI
Model of the Thermodynamic Structure of the Trade-Wind Boundary Layer: Part I. Theoretical Formulation and Sensitivity Tests.
TL;DR: In this article, a numerical model which predicts the time variation of the thermodynamic structure of the trade-wind boundary layer is developed, where horizontally homogeneous conditions are assumed and the large-scale divergence, sea surface temperature and surface wind speed are specified externally.
