Entrainment and mixing at the interface of shallow cumulus clouds: Results from a combination of observations and simulations

This study combines observations, large-eddy simulations (LES), and direct numerical simulations (DNS) in order to analyze entrainment and mixing in shallow cumulus clouds at all relevant spatial scales and, additionally, to verify the results by the multiple methods used. The observations are based...
