Anisotropy of Observed and Simulated Turbulence in Marine Stratocumulus

Anisotropy of Observed and Simulated Turbulence in Marine Stratocumulus

Abstract Anisotropy of turbulence near the top of the stratocumulus‐topped boundary layer (STBL) is studied using large‐eddy simulation (LES) and measurements from the POST and DYCOMS‐II field campaigns. Focusing on turbulence ∼100 m below the cloud top, we see remarkable similarity between daytime...
