Abstract: Whereas it is now widely accepted that cumulus cloud sizes are power‐law distributed, characteristic exponents reported in the literature vary greatly, generally taking values between 1 and >3. Although these differences might be explained by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2023ms003739
Abstract: In numerical weather prediction and climate models, boundary‐layer clouds are controlled by a wide range of subgrid‐scale processes. However, understanding the nature of these processes and their role in the evolution of the cloud size… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/gmd-18-3921-2025
Abstract: Abstract. Average properties of the cloud field, such as cloud size distribution and cloud fraction, have previously been observed to evolve periodically. Identifying this behaviour, however, remains difficult due to the intrinsic variability within the… read more here.
