A Dual Mass Flux Framework for Boundary Layer Convection. Part I: Transport (2009, methodology): “dtr makes the closure consistent with the Richardsontype mass flux closures as proposed by Stevens (2006) and Grant (2006) and introduces dependence on moist convective inhibition (e.g., Mapes 2000; Bretherton et al. 2004); see Eq.”
High-Resolution Climate Simulations Using GFDL HiRAM with a Stretched Global Grid (2016, unknown): “The convective parameterization is the University of Washington shallow convection scheme of Bretherton et al. (2004) extended to represent unresolved deep convection as described in Z09.”
Parameterizing Convective Organization to Escape the Entrainment Dilemma (2011, methodology): “Advanced versions used here (based on Bretherton et al. 2004) include both entrainment and detrainment of an assumed spectrum of mixtures, based on buoyancy sorting principles, and a vertical velocity equation for the plume core which can be used to drive microphysical activation processes.”
Aerosol indirect effects – general circulation model intercomparison and evaluation with satellite data (2009, methodology): “The model uses a combination of the shallow cumulus scheme of Bretherton et al. (2004) and the deep cumulus scheme of Donner (1993).”
A Cumulus Parameterization with State-Dependent Entrainment Rate. Part I: Description and Sensitivity to Temperature and Humidity Profiles (2010, methodology): “Numerical Procedure for In-Cloud Properties The procedure for computing in-cloud properties is analogous to Bretherton et al. (2004a).”
A Direct Measure of Entrainment (2010, methodology): “As a result, the proposed ; 1/z relationship has been used in convective parameterizations (Jakob and Siebesma 2003; Bretherton et al. 2004); however, it is clear from Fig.”
Evaluation of CMIP6 DECK Experiments With CNRM‐CM6‐1 (2019, background): “Entrainment and detrainment of energy, moisture, and microphysical species within the convective updraft depend on the prognostic updraft vertical velocity and follow a buoyancy sorting mechanism (Bretherton et al., 2004).”
The University of Washington Shallow Convection and Moist Turbulence Schemes and Their Impact on Climate Simulations with the Community Atmosphere Model (2009, methodology): “0, is documented in Collins et al. (2006).”
Entrainment and detrainment in cumulus convection: an overview (2013, background): “Another deficiency, this time related to (22) and discussed by Bretherton et al. (2004), is the excessive detrainment if all negatively buoyant mixtures are rejected from the updraught.”
Simulations of global hurricane climatology, interannual variability, and response to global warming using a 50-km resolution GCM. (2009, methodology): “18 in Bretherton et al. (2004)] is modified so that it is co over ocean and αco over land.”
The GFDL Global Atmosphere and Land Model AM4.0/LM4.0: 2. Model Description, Sensitivity Studies, and Tuning Strategies (2018, methodology): “0’s parameterization of the shallow plume cloud base mass flux is the same as in the original University of Washington Shallow Cumulus scheme (Bretherton et al., 2004a), which is based on boundary layer TKE and convective inhibition (CIN; Mapes, 2000).”
A Mass-Flux Scheme View of a High-Resolution Simulation of a Transition from Shallow to Deep Cumulus Convection (2006, methodology): “As discussed by Siebesma et al. (2003), many cloud models also make use of a plume vertical velocity equation of the form FIG.”
Formulation of the Dutch Atmospheric Large-Eddy Simulation (DALES) and overview of its applications (2010, background): “Especially in situations where the properties of the cloud deck are around the buoyancy reversal criterion, this choice proves to be critical (Randall, 1980; Bretherton et al., 2004; de Roode, 2007).”
RegCM4 : model description and preliminary tests over multiple CORDEX domains (2012, methodology): “First, the scheme currently available in the RegCM system, that of Holtslag et al. (1990), underwent various modifications, and second a new PBL scheme, the University of Washington PBL (Grenier & Bretherton 2001, Bretherton et al. 2004), was implemented in the model.”
