Cloud Botany: Shallow Cumulus Clouds in an Ensemble of Idealized Large‐Domain Large‐Eddy Simulations of the Trades

Abstract Small shallow cumulus clouds (<1 km) over the tropical oceans appear to possess the ability to self‐organize into mesoscale (10–100 km) patterns. To better understand the processes leading to such self‐organized convection, we present Cloud Botany, an ensemble of 103 large‐eddy simulatio...
