Small-scale and mesoscale variability of scalars in cloudy boundary layers : One-dimensional probability density functions

A key to parameterizaiton of subgrid-scale processes is the probability density function (PDF) of converved scalars. If the appropriate PDF is known, then grid box average cloud fraction, liquid water content, temperature, and autoconversion can be diagnosed.
