Evaluation of CMIP6 DECK Experiments With CNRM‐CM6‐1 (2019, methodology): “A specific treatment of the entrainment at the top of the boundary layer is taken into account based on Grenier and Bretherton (2001).”
A PDF-Based Model for Boundary Layer Clouds. Part II: Model Results (2002, background): “One possible approach might be to modify the numerical discretization in order to reconstruct inversions, as proposed by Grenier and Bretherton (2001).”
A Description of the Advanced Research WRF Model Version 4 (2019, background): “This is a moist PBL scheme Grenier and Bretherton (2001) that can also represent cloud-topped boundary layers such as marine stratocumulus.”
The new GFDL global atmosphere and land model AM2-LM2: Evaluation with prescribed SST simulations (2004, background): “However, confidence in the model’s prediction of cloud-top liquid water is low because no provisions have been made to account for the subgrid vertical structure of the inversion layer as is done in Lock (2001) and Grenier and Bretherton (2001).”
Unified treatment of dry convective and stratocumulus‐topped boundary layers in the ECMWF model (2011, background): “This impact highlights the importance of processes in the cloud top including entrainment, diffusion and numerics (e.g. Grenier and Bretherton, 2001; Lock, 2001).”
Coupled ocean-atmosphere interaction at oceanic mesoscales (2010, methodology): “When the sensitivity of the Mellor-Yamada mixing to atmospheric stability is increased by a factor of five as recommended by Grenier and Bretherton (2001), the observed surface wind response to SST in the QuikSCAT observations is accurately represented in the WRF model (Figure 4c ,d).”
An updated length‐scale formulation for turbulent mixing in clear and cloudy boundary layers (2004, background): “Higher order turbulence closures in weather prediction and climate model are receiving increasing attention (e.g., Therry and Lacarrere 1983; Bougeault and Lacarrère 1989; Bélair et al. 1999; Cuxart et al. 2000; Grenier and Bretherton 2001; Abdella and McFarlane 2001; Lenderink and Holtslag 2000).”
A New Parameterization for Shallow Cumulus Convection and Its Application to Marine Subtropical Cloud-Topped Boundary Layers. Part I: Description and 1D Results (2004, methodology): “We present a new parameterization for shallow cumulus convection; its coupling to a planetary boundary layer (PBL), or more precisely, a turbulent mixing scheme ( Grenier and Bretherton 2001 ); the implementation of the two parameterizations in a mesoscale model; and single-column tests for subtropi”
Physical Climate Processes and Feedbacks (2001, background): “…surface and that within clouds, the non-local treatment of semi-convective cells (thermals) that can transport heat and substances upward, the role of moist physics, and microphysical aspects (Ricard and Royer, 1993; Moeng et al., 1995; Cuijpers and Holtslag, 1998; Grenier and Bretherton, 2001).”
Confronting Models with Data: The Gewex Cloud Systems Study (2003, unknown): “Individual GCSS scientists have used the CSRM “datasets” that are the initial products of a model intercomparison project as a basis or starting point for parameterization testing and development (e.g., vanZanten et al. 1999; Lock et al. 2000; Martin et al. 2000; Grenier and Bretherton 2001; Siebesm”
