Mechanisms of marine low cloud sensitivity to idealized climate perturbations: A single‐LES exploration extending the CGILS cases

Mechanisms of marine low cloud sensitivity to idealized climate perturbations: A single‐LES exploration extending the CGILS cases

Climate change sensitivities of subtropical cloud‐topped marine boundary layers are analyzed using large‐eddy simulation (LES) of three CGILS cases of well‐mixed stratocumulus, cumulus under stratocumulus, and shallow cumulus cloud regimes, respectively. For each case, a steadily forced control simu...
