Stratocumulus-capped mixed layers derived from a three-dimensional model
TL;DR: In this article, a three-dimensional numerical model was used to study turbulence and entrainment within mixed layers containing stratocumulus with or without parameterized cloud-top radiative cooling.

Resolution Requirements for the Simulation of Deep Moist Convection
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a clear theoretical framework for the simulation of turbulent flows, and the source of the subgrid terms in the Navier-Stokes equation is clarified.

Coherent structure of the convective boundary layer derived from large-eddy simulations
Helmut Schmidt,Ulrich Schumann +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used large-eddy simulations (LES) for zero mean horizontal flow in the convective boundary layer (CBL) of a Boussinesq fluid, and found that the results in terms of vertical mean profiles of turbulence statistics generally agree very well with results available from laboratory and atmospheric field experiments.

Parameterization of the Planetary Boundary layer for Use in General Circulation Models1
TL;DR: In this article, the surface stress and fluxes of heat and moisture are parameterized for use in numerical models of the general circulation of the atmosphere, and the roughness length, Zo, is incorporated in the combination of h/zo.
