• A PDF-Based Model for Boundary Layer Clouds. Part I: Method and Model Description (2002, methodology): “In Part II (Golaz et al. 2002), we present results obtained with the model described herein for a variety of boundary layer regimes, such as a dry convective layer, trade wind cumulus, cumulus clouds over land, and stratocumulus clouds.”
• Development of an Improved Turbulence Closure Model for the Atmospheric Boundary Layer (2009, methodology): “The results of our LES compare well with those of previous LESs of the Wangara experiment (e.g., Deardor¤ 1974; Golaz et al. 2002).”
• The ‘too few, too bright’ tropical low‐cloud problem in CMIP5 models (2012, background): “…to under-estimate the height of the cloud base and of the cloud top than the schemes that assume a double PDF and couple the statistical moments of these PDFs to the parameterizations of boundarylayer turbulence and shallow convection [Golaz et al., 2002; Perraud et al., 2011; Jam et al., 2012].”
• ATMOSPHERIC MOIST CONVECTION (2005, background): “Although some recent work has attempted to unify the representation of cloud and subcloud processes (Lappen & Randall 2001, Golaz et al. 2002a,b, Cheinet 2003, 2004), these models require a vertically resolved representation of the trade-wind layer.”
