Entrainment and detrainment in cumulus convection: an overview (2013, positive): “Comparison with various field observations such as those from the Barbados Oceanographic and Meteorological Experiment (BOMEX; Siebesma et al., 2003), Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM; Brown et al., 2002), and the Atlantic Tradewind Experiment (ATEX; Stevens et al., 2001), has shown that moder”
Size Statistics of Cumulus Cloud Populations in Large-Eddy Simulations (2003, methodology): “…intercomparison studies by the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) Cloud Systems Studies working group 1 (GCSS wg1) have shown that LES is robust in reproducing the bulk vertical turbulent transport of the cloud ensemble (Stevens et al. 2001; Brown et al. 2002; Siebesma et al. 2003).”
Modeling Supersaturation and Subgrid-Scale Mixing with Two-Moment Bulk Warm Microphysics (2008, background): “…Society JAS2374 LES models are capable of simulating the macroscopic properties of subtropical stratocumulus and shallow cumulus [e.g., profiles of cloud fraction, liquid water content, updraft and downdraft statistics, etc.; see Brown et al. (2002); Siebesma et al. (2003); Stevens et al. (2005)].”
Formulation of the Dutch Atmospheric Large-Eddy Simulation (DALES) and overview of its applications (2010, background): “The GCSS looks at different aspects of boundary layer clouds, mainly shallow cumulus and stratocumulus clouds (Bretherton et al., 1999a,b; Duynkerke et al., 1999, 2004; Brown et al., 2002; Siebesma et al., 2003; Stevens et al., 2001, 2005; Ackerman et al., 2009; van Zanten et al., 2010).”

Controls on precipitation and cloudiness in simulations of trade‐wind cumulus as observed during RICO (2011, background): “Less cloud-top entrainment is associated with enhanced cloudtop droplet sedimentation (Ackerman et al., 2004; Bretherton et al., 2006 ; A ckerman et al.,2009).”

An updated length‐scale formulation for turbulent mixing in clear and cloudy boundary layers (2004, methodology): “The case is described in Brown et al.
