Determining entrainment rate and the role of entrainment in stratocumulus clouds

An important process in predicting the evolution of the boundary layer is the entrainment rate, which has received little verification using observed data. The entrainment rate is therefore computed using aircraft measurements obtained off the coast of California during FIRE in 1987. The entrainment...
