A Direct Measure of Entrainment (2010, methodology): “2 of Romps and Kuang 2010b) and in the environment (see Fig.”
An Analytical Model for Tropical Relative Humidity (2014, unknown): “…and a value of 0.5km21 is chosen because it sits in between the smaller entrainment rates inferred for deep convection (e.g., Romps 2010; Böing et al. 2012; Romps 2014) and the larger rates inferred for shallow convection (e.g., Siebesma and Cuijpers 1995; Romps 2010; Romps and Kuang 2010b).”
Influence of the subcloud layer on the development of a deep convective ensemble (2012, methodology): “This formulation of ul is an approximation to more elaborate versions (e.g., Bryan and Fritsch 2004; Romps and Kuang 2010b), and quantitative errors may arise at large values of qc, such as occur in moist adiabats.”
Influence of entrainment on the thermal stratification in simulations of radiative‐convective equilibrium (2013, methodology): “A role for entrainment in helping to determine cloud buoyancies in moist convection is supported by CRM simulations and some observational studies [e.g., Derbyshire et al., 2004; Holloway and Neelin, 2009; Kuang and Bretherton, 2006; Romps and Kuang, 2010; Zipser, 2003; Molinari et al., 2012].”
Rapid Intensification of a Sheared Tropical Storm (2010, background): “Recent work by Romps and Kuang (2010) strongly suggests that fusion heating is responsible for these broad updrafts reaching the tropopause.”
