Large eddy simulation of ship tracks in the collapsed marine boundary layer: a case study from the Monterey area ship track experiment

For the first time, a large eddy simulation (LES) coupled to a bulk aerosol scheme is used to simulate an aircraft-sampled ship track. The track was formed by the M/V <i>Sanko Peace</i> on 13 June 1994 in a shallow drizzling boundary layer with high winds but very low background aerosol...
