Drizzle and Entrainment in Coastal Marine Stratocumulus Clouds

Abstract

The long term-goal of this project is to provide an improved description and understanding of the effects of drizzle and entrainment on coastal marine boundary layer clouds that will provide a basis for developing, improving, and evaluating cloud and boundary layer representations in LES, mesoscale and large-scale forecast models.
