A physically based fractional cloudiness parameterization

Abstract

A bulk PBL model with a simple internal vertical structure and a simple second-order closure has been developed for use as a PBL parameterization in a large-scale model. A method to determine the value of sigma, the fractional area covered by rising motion, is given. Large-eddy simulations of Moeng (1984, 1986) are used to validate various aspects of the parameterization.
