- | ==== The effect of humidity inversion in the Arctic | ||
- | Humidity inversion describes the situation where the specific humidity in some layer of air is increasing with altitude instead of decreasing. Humidity inversion atop a cloudy boundary layer are relatively common [[arcticclouds|in the Arctic]]. The entrainment at the top of the top of the cloud layer then often leads to transport of humidity from the free atmosphere into the boundary layer. This can then effect both the precipitation from the clouds | + | ==== Stochastic |
- | Does the presence of humidity inversion lead to warming of cooling of the cloud layer? And does it lead to increase the turbulence in the boundary layer? These questions will be investigated with both conceptual mixed-layer model and large eddy simulation. If you are interested in this topic please contact [[https:// | ||

- | ==== Stochastic and scale-aware parameterization of atmospheric convection using EDMF ==== | ||
Atmospheric convection and associated cloud processes are not resolved by most numerical models used for weather forecasting and climate prediction. As a result, their impact on the larger-scale flow and climate has to be represented through parameterization.

- | Measurements are often taken at one point and then interpreted as a spatial variability by taking the wind into account. But how good is this approach? Can we find a strong correlation between the temporal and spatial variability? | ||
