Large‐eddy simulation of subtropical cloud‐topped boundary layers: 2. Cloud response to climate change

Abstract How subtropical marine boundary layer (MBL) clouds respond to warming is investigated using large‐eddy simulations (LES) of a wide range of warmer climates, with CO2 concentrations elevated by factors 2–16. In LES coupled to a slab ocean with interactive sea surface temperatures (SST), the...
