Subtropical Low Cloud Response to a Warmer Climate in an Superparameterized Climate Model. Part II: Column Modeling with a Cloud Resolving Model

A cloud resolving model (CRM) is used to investigate the low-cloud increase due to a 2 K SST increase in the SP-CAM superparameterized climate model. Of particular interest is the sensitivity of cloud changes to the CRM resolution (4 km horizontal, 30 vertical levels) in SP-CAM. The CRM is run in co...
