Cloud microphysics parameterizations for shallow cumulus clouds are analyzed based on Lagrangian cloud model (LCM) data, focusing on autoconversion and accretion. The autoconversion and accretion rates,A and C, respectively, ...

The formation of a diurnal thermocline in the ocean mixed layer under a stabilizing buoyancy flux was simulated successfully by large-eddy simulation, reproducing various features consistent with observation. The analysis ...

The Millionshchikov hypothesis of quasi-normal distribution of fourth-order moments fails for convective conditions where the probability density functions of temperature and vertical velocity fluctuations are skewed. This ...

A Kolmogorov-type similarity theory of locally homogeneous and isotropic turbulence generated by a Smagorinsky-type large-eddy simulation (LES) at very large LES Reynolds numbers is developed and discussed. The underlying ...
