The stratocumulus to cumulus transition (SCT) is typically considered to be a slow, multiday
process, caused primarily by dry air entrainment associated with overshooting cumulus, with …

Mesoscale cellular convective (MCC) clouds occur in large‐scale patterns over the ocean
and have important radiative effects on the climate system. An examination of time‐varying …

Observed stratocumulus to cumulus transitions (SCTs) and their sensitivity to aerosols are
studied using a large‐eddy simulation (LES) model that simulates the aerosol lifecycle …

Marine stratocumulus cloud (Sc) decks with high cloud fraction typically breakup when
sufficient drizzle forms. Cloud breakup leads to a lower cloud radiative effect due to the …

The two-way transition between closed and open cellular convection is addressed in an
idealized cloud-resolving modeling framework. A series of cloud-resolving simulations …

Challenges in understanding the aerosol–cloud interactions and their impacts on global
climate highlight the need for improved knowledge of the underlying physical processes and …

Lagrangian transitions in mesoscale cellular convective (MCC) clouds beginning as closed
cell MCC and transitioning to open cells or disorganized but cellular MCC are explored on …

Marine boundary layer clouds and precipitation observed in a sustained period of open
mesoscale cellular convection (MCC) over the Southern Ocean (SO) are investigated using …

Precipitation plays an important role in cloud and aerosol processes over the Southern
Ocean (SO). The main objective of this study is to characterize SO precipitation properties …

Stratocumulus clouds (Sc) have a significant impact on the amount of sunlight reflected back
to space, with important implications for Earth's climate. Representing Sc and their radiative …
