Large‐eddy simulation of subtropical cloud‐topped boundary layers: 1. A forcing framework with closed surface energy balance

Abstract Large‐eddy simulation (LES) of clouds has the potential to resolve a central question in climate dynamics, namely, how subtropical marine boundary layer (MBL) clouds respond to global warming. However, large‐scale processes need to be prescribed or represented parameterically in the limited...
