Cancellation of Aerosol Indirect Effects in Marine Stratocumulus through Cloud Thinning (2007, methodology): “Throughout this study, we only include those cases where the buoyancy integral ratio, as defined in Turton and Nicholls (1987), is less than 0.2 at all times.”
ATMOSPHERIC MOIST CONVECTION (2005, background): “…attributed to a variety of processes, including the stabilizing effect of precipitation (Paluch & Lenschow 1991, Wang 1993, Wang & Wang 1994) or solar radiation, which is preferentially absorbed in the cloud layer (Bougeault 1985, Turton & Nicholls 1987, Duynkerke 1989, Ciesielski et al. 2001).”
Evaluation of Large-Eddy Simulations via Observations of Nocturnal Marine Stratocumulus (2005, background): “If we denote the flux of some quantity by F , F w , 7 we can associate decoupling with the tendency of the buoyancy flux Fb to become negative below cloud base (Turton and Nicholls 1987; Bretherton and Wyant 1997).”
