A New Look at the Daily Cycle of Trade Wind Cumuli

A New Look at the Daily Cycle of Trade Wind Cumuli

Abstract A description of the daily cycle of oceanic shallow cumulus for undisturbed boreal winter conditions in the North Atlantic trades is presented. Modern investigation tools are used, including storm‐resolving and large‐eddy simulations, run over large domains in realistic configurations, and...
