Ensemble runs of individual golden day cases of shallow cumulus clouds

The composite case CASS represents well the mean behavior of the ensemble runs for each individual shallow cumulus day selected in 13-yr summertime at SGP.

Please contact us if you are interested in the ensemble runs of individual shallow cumulus days.

 

Comparison between observation (black line), ensemble mean of individual day LES runs (blue long dashed line) and the LES of the composite CASS control run (red line). All LES runs are with bulk microphysics. The shaded area denotes one standard error across 40 ensemble runs which produce shallow cumulus clouds. The grey vertical lines denote the inter-quartile spread of the 40 ensemble runs which produce shallow cumulus clouds.
