Large-eddy simulations of marine boundary-layer clouds associated with cold air outbreak during the ACTIVATE campaign. Part II: aerosol-meteorology-cloud interaction

Xiang-Yu Li, Hailong Wang, Jingyi Chen +24

Aerosol effects on micro-/macro-physical properties of marine stratocumulus clouds over the Western North Atlantic Ocean (WNAO) are investigated using in-situ measurements and larg…

Large-eddy simulations of marine boundary-layer clouds associated with cold air outbreaks during the ACTIVATE campaign-part 1: Case setup and sensitivities to large-scale forcings

Xiang-Yu Li, Hailong Wang, Jingyi Chen +26

Large-eddy simulation (LES) is able to capture key boundary-layer (BL) turbulence and cloud processes. Yet, large-scale forcing and surface turbulent fluxes of sensible and latent…

Collision fluctuations of lucky droplets with superdroplets

Xiang-Yu Li, Bernhard Mehlig, Gunilla Svensson +2

It was previously shown that the superdroplet algorithm for modeling the collision-coalescence process can faithfully represent mean droplet growth in turbulent clouds. But an open…

Condensational and collisional growth of cloud droplets in a turbulent environment

Xiang-Yu Li, Axel Brandenburg, Gunilla Svensson +3

We investigate the effect of turbulence on the combined condensational and collisional growth of cloud droplets by means of high resolution direct numerical simulations of turbulen…

Eulerian and modified Lagrangian approaches to multi-dimensional condensation and collection

Xiang-Yu Li, A. Brandenburg, N. E. L. Haugen +1

Turbulence is argued to play a crucial role in cloud droplet growth. The combined problem of turbulence and cloud droplet growth is numerically challenging. Here, an Eulerian schem…
