Effects of 3-D thermal radiation on the development of a shallow cumulus cloud field

We investigate the effects of thermal radiation on cloud development in large-eddy simulations (LESs) with the UCLA-LES model. We investigate single convective clouds (driven by a warm bubble) at 50 m horizontal resolution and a large cumulus cloud field at 50 and 100 m horizontal resolutions. We co...
