Evaluation of the ECHAM4 cloud-turbulence scheme for Stratocumulus
The behavior of the ECHAM4 cloud and turbulence scheme is evaluated for an idealized case of Stratocumulus. It is shown that the E-l turbulence closure that is used is sensitive to instabilities. This is caused by the formulation of the turbulent length scale / in terms of the moist Richardson numbe...
