A Dual Mass Flux Framework for Boundary Layer Convection. Part I: Transport (2009, background): “The assumption of a constant, small area fraction is often applied in bulk mass flux schemes (e.g., Grant 2001; Soares et al. 2004).”
Overview of the Meso-NH model version 5.4 and its applications (2018, background): “Another mass flux formulation of convective mixing, proposed in the eddy-diffusivity mass flux approach (Hourdin et al., 2002; Soares et al., 2004), addresses this issue and has been introduced by Pergaud et al. (2009) into Meso-NH, called PMMC09.”
Tropical and Subtropical Cloud Transitions in Weather and Climate Prediction Models: The GCSS/WGNE Pacific Cross-Section Intercomparison (GPCI) (2011, background): “…developing new parameterizations for clouds and the cloudy boundary layer (e.g., Cuijpers and Bechtold 1995; Lock et al. 2000; Golaz et al. 2002; Teixeira and Hogan 2002; Cheinet and Teixeira 2003; Lenderink and Holtslag 2004; Bretherton et al. 2004; Soares et al. 2004; Bretherton and Park 2009).”
A Planetary Boundary Layer Height Climatology Derived from ECMWF Reanalysis Data (2013, methodology): “In particular, ERA-Interim has shown significant improvements of the simulations of marine cloudy boundary layers due to the implementation of the eddy-diffusivity mass flux (EDMF) approach (e.g., Soares et al. 2004; K€ohler 2005; Siebesma et al. 2007).”
A review on regional convection‐permitting climate modeling: Demonstrations, prospects, and challenges (2015, background): “The fact that it is an unsaturated thermal that later forms a saturated thermal aloft motivated an extension of Siebesma et al.’s [2007] combined approach to include the parameterization of shallow cumulus clouds [Soares et al., 2004].”
Unified treatment of dry convective and stratocumulus‐topped boundary layers in the ECMWF model (2011, methodology): “Soares et al. (2004), for example, adapted it to the French mesoscale non-hydrostatic model MESO-NH, using a prognostic TKE equation instead of the K-profile technique used at ECMWF.”
Shifting the diurnal cycle of parameterized deep convection over land (2009, methodology): “The so-called ‘‘thermal plume model’’ used here and similar approaches [Soares et al., 2004; Siebesma et al., 2007] were shown to effectively reproduce the diurnal cycle of the continental boundary layer on fair-weather cumulus days.”
A Parameterization of Dry Thermals and Shallow Cumuli for Mesoscale Numerical Weather Prediction (2009, background): “…water content and cloud fraction; – to improve the mixing in the CBL, notably in the countergradient transport where eddy diffusivity is insufficient (Stull 1988); – to retain the Kain and Fritsch (1990) approach and so enable vertical variations of entrainment and detrainment in the cloudy…”
Entrainment and detrainment in cumulus convection: an overview (2013, methodology): “Nowadays the mass flux concept is also used for dry convection in the increasingly popular eddy diffusivity mass flux (EDMF) schemes (Soares et al., 2004; Siebesma et al., 2007).”
A Combined Eddy-Diffusivity Mass-Flux Approach for the Convective Boundary Layer (2007, methodology): “The basic idea has been formulated in Siebesma and Teixeira (2000) and practical applications of this approach to the cloud-topped boundary layer have been discussed recently in Soares et al. (2004).”
The AROME-France Convective-Scale Operational Model (2011, methodology): “It is a mass ﬂux scheme based on the eddy diffusivity mass ﬂux (EDMF) scheme (Soares et al. 2004) that parameterizes dry thermals and shallow cumuli.”
Exchange Processes in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer Over Mountainous Terrain (2018, background): “The second strategy has become popular in the context of shallow convection parameterization, where it is known as the mass-flux approach [227]; in fact, δ is normally taken as proportional to the mass flux associated with an ensemble of narrow updrafts.”
