Controls on precipitation and cloudiness in simulations of trade-wind cumulus as observed during RICO

Controls on precipitation and cloudiness in simulations of trade-wind cumulus as observed during RICO

Twelve large-eddy simulations, with a wide range of microphysical representations, are compared to each other and to independent measurements. The measurements and the initial and forcing data for the simulations are taken from the undisturbed period of the Rain in Cumulus over the Ocean (RICO) fiel...
