Coupling of Boundary Layer Dynamics, Turbulence, and Moisture Transport to Cloud Characteristics and Aerosol Concentrations

Creator:

Henze, Dean C.

Abstract:

Uncertainties in general circulation model (GCM) representations of marine boundary layer (MBL) shallow cloud cover contribute substantially to the spread in model predictions of future climate. Further uncertainties in GCM output arise from an incomplete understanding of cloud-aerosol interactions. For example, the Fifth Assessment Report from the Intergovernmental Panel on...
