Modeling Supersaturation and Subgrid-Scale Mixing with Two-Moment Bulk Warm Microphysics (2008, background): “, Warner 1969b; Pinsky and Khain 2002) or entrainment (Warner 1969a; Paluch and Knight 1984; Brenguier and Grabowski 1993; Su et al. 1998; Lasher-Trapp et al. 2005); (v) collision–coalescence; and (vi) sedimentation of drizzle/raindrops and their evaporation below the cloud base.”
Droplet growth in warm turbulent clouds (2012, background): “…clouds, activation of cloud droplets also occurs above the cloud base due to either strongly increasing updraught strength (e.g. Warner, 1969b; Pinsky and Khain, 2002) or entrainment (Warner, 1969a; Paluch and Knight, 1984; Brenguier and Grabowski, 1993; Su et al., 1998; Lasher-Trapp et al., 2005).”
Laboratory studies of the effect of cloud conditions on graupel/crystal charge transfer in thunderstorm electrification (2006, background): “According to Lasher-Trapp et al. (2005), considerations of mixing processes in warm cumulus clouds for droplets experiencing entrainment leads them to experience different supersaturation histories during their transit through the cloud.”
Comparison of Bulk and Bin Warm-Rain Microphysics Models Using a Kinematic Framework (2007, background): “Mixing may also provide fresh nuclei that initiate droplet activation (e.g., Brenguier and Grabowski 1993; Su et al. 1998; Lasher-Trapp et al. 2005).”
Homogeneous and Inhomogeneous Mixing in Cumulus Clouds: Dependence on Local Turbulence Structure (2009, background): “Numerical studies that attempt to represent entrainment and turbulent mixing have suggested that this mechanism operates in clouds (e.g., Baker and Latham 1979; Telford and Chai 1980; Lasher-Trapp et al. 2005; Andrejczuk et al. 2006; Krueger et al. 2006).”
Growth of Cloud Droplets in a Turbulent Environment (2013, methodology): “The practical application of the large-eddy-hopping concept to a small cumulus simulation was subsequently developed by Lasher-Trapp et al. (2005) using a two-step procedure (Figure 4).”
