Turbulent Convection in Stellar Interiors. I. Hydrodynamic Simulation (2006, methodology): “A review (up to 1991) of experimental measures of the parameters in the entrainment law of equation 4 are tabulated in Fernando (1991) and a recent review of entrainment models used in the atmospheric sciences is discussed by Stevens (2002).”
Droplet growth in warm turbulent clouds (2012, background): “A survey of LES of stratocumulus by Stevens (2002) showed that entrainment rates diagnosed from LES results can vary by up to a factor of two.”
On the Growth of Layers of Nonprecipitating Cumulus Convection (2007, background): “Most parameterizations strive to represent the growth of the layer by constraining the rate of working at cloud top to the net rate of buoyancy production, due to either radiative cooling, or surface fluxes, within the layer (Turton and Nicholls 1987; Stevens 2002).”
A Dual Mass Flux Framework for Boundary Layer Convection. Part I: Transport (2009, methodology): “The second difference lies in the locality of the stability; where the buoyancy sorting mechanism depends on local stability, this bulk method assesses the stability aloft (the inversion) to determine the structure of transport, a technique characteristic of top-entrainment parameterizations (se e e”

A MODEL FOR GRAVITATIONAL WAVE EMISSION FROM NEUTRINO-DRIVEN CORE-COLLAPSE SUPERNOVAE (2009, background): “There is a long tradition of using this dimensionless parameter in atmospheric sciences to accurately describe the boundary layer in atmospheric convection (Fernando 1991; Fernando & Hunt 1997; Bretherton et al. 1999; Stevens 2002).”
What Controls the Mean Depth of the PBL (2005, background): “The coefficients ␣ 1,2,3 depend on the geometry of the layer (see Stevens 2002; Lewellen and Lewellen 1998).”
ATMOSPHERIC MOIST CONVECTION (2005, methodology): “…E have been calibrated using large-eddy simulation, but the ability of this approach remains controversial, in part because entrainment rates from LES can vary substantially from model to model and as a function of the representation of the cloud top interface (Stevens 2002, Stevens et al. 2003).”
Dynamics and chemistry of marine stratocumulus - DYCOMS II (2003, background): “In a survey of recent work Stevens (2002) shows that different entrainment rules derived from state-of-the-art simulations can still differ by more than a factor of two.”

Boundary Layer Depth, Entrainment, and Decoupling in the Cloud-Capped Subtropical and Tropical Marine Boundary Layer (2004, methodology): “If methods of making estimations of the entrainment rate at the regional scale can be developed they will provide an excellent constraint for the wealth of entrainment closures in existence (see, e.g., the reviews in Nicholls and Turton 1986 and Stevens 2003).”
