- Homogeneous and Inhomogeneous Mixing in Cumulus Clouds: Dependence on Local Turbulence Structure (2009, background): “Often, cumulus clouds are surrounded by thin shells of air with increased saturation ratio, also referred to as humidity halos (e.g., Lu et al. 2003; Heus and Jonker 2008).”
- Entrainment and detrainment in cumulus convection: an overview (2013, unknown): “Detailed LES by Heus and Jonker (2008) of the SCMS and BOMEX cases reproduced the existence of the descending shell in the simulations and, based on a budget analysis of vertical momentum in the model, negative buoyancy resulting from evaporative cooling was identified as the main driver for the…”
- Can aerosol decrease cloud lifetime? (2009, background): “[5] An actively growing cumulus cloud consists of a positively buoyant updraft core surrounded by a shell of negatively buoyant air driven by entrainment and evaporative cooling [Blyth et al., 1988; Rodts et al., 2003; Heus and Jonker, 2008], as illustrated in Figure 1.”
- Formulation of the Dutch Atmospheric Large-Eddy Simulation (DALES) and overview of its applications (2010, background): “For example, Heus et al.(2009) showed that to obtain correct values for the in-cloud vertical mass flux in cumulus clouds, much finer resolutions are necessary than are commonly used in for instance intercomparison studies.”
