A Cloud Top Radiative Cooling Model Coupled With CLUBB in the Community Atmosphere Model: Description and Simulation of Low Clouds

Abstract In this study, a higher‐order closure scheme known as Cloud Layers Unified By Binormals (CLUBB) is coupled with a cloud top radiative cooling scheme (RAD). The cloud top radiative cooling scheme treats the buoyancy flux generated near the top of the boundary layer which helps the CLUBB sche...
