A Thermal Plume Model for the Convective Boundary Layer : Representation of Cumulus Clouds

The “thermal plume model,” a mass-flux scheme combined with a classical diffusive approach, originally developed to represent turbulent transport in the dry convective boundary layer, is extended here to the representation of cloud processes.

description The “thermal plume model,” a mass-flux scheme combined with a classical diffusive approach, originally developed to represent turbulent transport in the dry convective boundary layer, is extended here to the representation of cloud processes. The modified parameterization is validated in a 1D configuration against results of large eddy simulations (LES), as well as in a 3D configuration against in situ measurements, for a series of cases of dry and cloudy convective boundary layers. Accounting for coherent structures of the mixed layer with the mass-flux scheme improves the representation of the diurnal cycle of the boundary layer, particularly its progressive deepening during the day and the associated near-surface drying. Results also underline the role of the prescription of the mixing of air between the plume and its environment, and of submean-plume fluctuations.
