Inter-model Variability in Convection-Resolving Simulations of Subtropical Marine Low Clouds
Christoph Heim, Laureline Hentgen, Nikolina Ban, Christoph Schär
Abstract
We analyze a multi-model ensemble at a convection-resolving resolution based on the DYAMOND models and a resolution ensemble based on the limited-area model COSMO over 40 days to study how tropical and subtropical marine low clouds are represented at a kilometer-scale resolution.
