- Drizzle in Stratiform Boundary Layer Clouds. Part I: Vertical and Horizontal Structure (2005, background): “Recent observational studies of subtropical marine stratocumulus by Pawlowska and Brenguier (2003) and vanZanten et al. (2005) find that the precipitation rate at cloud base is inversely proportional to droplet concentration for fixed cloud thickness, providing further evidence for H2.”
- Large-Eddy Simulations of a Drizzling, Stratocumulus-Topped Marine Boundary Layer (2009, background): “In stratocumulus, the precipitation rate at cloud base is not expected to be a linear function of the liquid water path (e.g., Pawlowska and Brenguier 2003; Comstock et al. 2004; vanZanten et al. 2005), so even if the models and measurements were perfect, the average thermodynamic and microphysica”
- Controls on precipitation and cloudiness in simulations of trade‐wind cumulus as observed during RICO (2011, background): “The active cloud-droplet population density is taken by sub-sampling nearly adiabatic updrafts within the cloud, and it is thought to be the best single number to represent the droplet amount playing a role in rain formation ( Pawlowska and Brenguier, 2000, 2003 ).”
- Cancellation of Aerosol Indirect Effects in Marine Stratocumulus through Cloud Thinning (2007, background): “Observational data (Pawlowska and Brenguier 2003; Comstock et al. 2004; Van Zanten et al. 2005) lend weight to closures of the form P cb/P (e) cb KD(N d/N (e) d ), where KD is a positive constant.”
- Multisensor satellite observations of aerosol effects on warm clouds (2008, result): “This result is qualitatively consistent with in situ observations of stratocumulus [vanZanten et al., 2005; Pawlowska and Brenguier, 2003 ] that indicate that clouds must grow deeper as droplet number concentration increases before precipitation begins.”
- An aircraft case study of the spatial transition from closed to open mesoscale cellular convection over the Southeast Pacific (2010, background): “Studies collating many aircraft and re-15 mote sensing measurements have confirmed the hypothesis that stratocumulus drizzle rates are sensitive to cloud droplet concentration (Pawlowska and Brenguier, 2003; Comstock et al., 2004; Van Zanten et al., 2005; Wood, 2005; Geoffroy et al., 2008).”
- Evaluation of the aerosol indirect effect in marine stratocumulus clouds : droplet number, size, liquid water path, and radiative impact (2005, methodology): “Figure A2. Aerosol particle concentration versus cloud geometric thickness determined from two soundings for each flight (as determined via the Pawlowska and Brenguier [2003] method), without the very clean flight 2. Horizontal error bars represent standard deviation as in Figure 1. Note that the ”
