DOI: 10.1002/2017jd026466
Abstract: Large-eddy simulations of shallow convection are used to evaluate the role of convective mixing and evaporative cooling in the vertical transport of mass, heat, and moisture in non-precipitating shallow convection. Evaporative cooling is found to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/qj.4035
Abstract: Motivated by the abundance of low clouds in the subtropics, where the easterly trade winds prevail, we study the role of shallow convection in the momentum budget of the trades. To this end, we use… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.atmosres.2020.105213
Abstract: Abstract Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models with coarser resolution than ~4 km use convection parametrization to describe both deep and shallow convection. Convection permitting models with grid spacing below ~4 km usually describe deep convection on grid… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/atmos10090484
Abstract: The modular structure of the boundary layer and convection parameterizations in atmospheric models have long been affecting the numerical representation of subgrid-scale motions and their mutual interactions. A promising alternative, the eddy-diffusivity/mass-flux approach (EDMF), has… read more here.
