Response of Convective Boundary Layer and Shallow Cumulus to Soil Moisture Heterogeneity: A Large‐Eddy Simulation Study

Abstract In this study, the impact of varying soil moisture heterogeneity (spatial variance and structure) on the development of the convective boundary layer and shallow cumulus clouds was investigated. Applying soil moisture heterogeneity generated via spatially correlated Gaussian random fields b...
