DOI: 10.1029/2018ms001572
Abstract: Limited area cloud‐resolving model (CRM) simulations called LASAM are used to reproduce and understand negative subtropical shallow cumulus cloud feedbacks in a near‐global aquaplanet CRM (NGAqua) with 4‐K sea surface temperature (SST) warming. NGAqua spans… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2022ms003360
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.
