Seamless Stratocumulus Simulation across the Turbulent Gray Zone (2014, methodology): “(2000) and Brown et al. (2008), with a 3D Smagorinsky mixing scheme.”
Why is it so difficult to represent stably stratified conditions in numerical weather prediction (NWP) models? (2013, methodology): “…surface, the near-surface ageostrophic wind angles are too small, hence the wind turning between the surface and the top of the boundary layer is underestimated [Bosveld et al., 1999; Brown et al., 2005; Cuxart et al., 2006; Brown et al., 2008; Bosveld et al., 2008; Svensson and Holtslag, 2009].”
Stable Atmospheric Boundary Layers and Diurnal Cycles: Challenges for Weather and Climate Models (2013, background): “…at many operational centers—such as ECMWF, the Met Office, MeteoFrance, National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), and elsewhere—have been encouraged to study and improve their representation of the atmospheric boundary layer (e.g., Beare 2007; Brown et al. 2008; Bazile et al. 2012).”
