Competing Effects of Droplet Sedimentation and Wind Shear on Entrainment in Stratocumulus
Abstract The joint effect of droplet sedimentation and wind shear on cloud top entrainment in stratocumulus is investigated with direct numerical simulations. Although it is well understood that droplet sedimentation weakens entrainment while wind shear enhances entrainment, there is no consensus on...
