Momentum Transport in Shallow Cumulus Clouds and Its Parameterization by Higher‐Order Closure
Abstract It is challenging to parameterize subgrid vertical momentum fluxes in marine shallow cumulus layers that contain a jet in the profile of horizontal wind. In a large‐eddy simulation of such a layer, it is found that the momentum flux in the direction of strongest wind magnitude has a three‐l...
