Intercomparison of large‐eddy simulations of Arctic mixed‐phase clouds: Importance of ice size distribution assumptions (2014, unknown): “The inter-model spread among simulations without ice is found to be comparable to those seen in previous intercomparisons of LES of warm stratocumulus [e.g., Ackerman et al ., 2009; Stevens et al ., 2005], although speciﬁcs of the Arctic environment also provide unique modeling challenges.”
Unified treatment of dry convective and stratocumulus‐topped boundary layers in the ECMWF model (2011, background): “…such as the First ISCCP Regional Experiment (FIRE) nocturnal subtropical stratocumulus case (Moeng et al., 1996; Bechtold et al., 1996) and the Dynamics and Chemistry of Marine Stratocumulus (DYCOMS) RF02 that focused on heavily drizzling stratocumulus (Wyant et al., 2007; Ackerman et al., 2009).”
The Parallelized Large-Eddy Simulation Model (PALM) version 4.0 for atmospheric and oceanic flows: model formulation, recent developments, and future perspectives (2015, background): “As shown by Ackerman et al. (2009), the sedimentation of cloud water has to be taken into account for the simulation of stratocumulus clouds .”
Advanced Two-Moment Bulk Microphysics for Global Models. Part II: Global Model Solutions and Aerosol–Cloud Interactions* (2015, methodology): “The first case is a drizzling stratocumulus cloud case from the Dynamics and Chemistry of Stratocumulus II (DYCOMS-II) experiment, case RF02, as described by Ackerman et al. (2009).”
Seamless Stratocumulus Simulation across the Turbulent Gray Zone (2014, background): “…in this regime presents further problems, as the partially resolved turbulence needs to interact correctly with the radiative and microphysical parameterizations, which are important controls on the structure of the boundary layer (Mechem and Kogan 2003; Ackerman et al. 2009; Boutle and Abel 2012).”
An aircraft case study of the spatial transition from closed to open mesoscale cellular convection over the Southeast Pacific (2010, methodology): “…a marked impact, consistent with theoretical ideas for mixed layers (Wood, 2007), while the more recent intercomparison of large eddy models by Ackerman et al. (2009) finds that drizzle does not have a marked effect on entrainment.25 Since there are no significant differences in the MBL depth…”
Impacts of cloud microphysics on trade wind cumulus: which cloud microphysics processes contribute to the diversity in a large eddy simulation? (2015, background): “…provide a link to the Creative Commons license, and indicate if changes were made. results of LES models are diverse, as indicated by several LES model intercomparison studies targeting shallow cloud (e.g., Stevens et al. 2005; Ackerman et al. 2009; van Zanten et al. 2011; Siebesma et al. 2003).”
Large-Eddy Simulation of the Atmospheric Boundary Layer (2020, methodology): “The cloud modelling community has a robust history of simulation intercomparison studies and interested readers are directed to those for detailed descriptions of LES of the cloudy boundary layer (e.g., Stevens et al. 2005; Ackerman et al. 2009).”
