DNS and LES for Simulating Stratocumulus: Better Together

Abstract We argue that combining direct numerical simulation (DNS) with large‐eddy simulation (LES) and field studies could accelerate current lines of stratocumulus research. LES allows for a faster and more holistic study of the parameter space, but LES is sensitive to details of its formulation b...
