The Impact of Vertical Mixing Biases in Large‐Eddy Simulation on Nocturnal Low Clouds

Abstract The use of large‐eddy simulation at a resolution insufficient to resolve the largest turbulent eddies frequently suffers from an overestimation of vertical mixing in the nocturnal boundary layer. The resulting biases in the mean thermodynamic structure—typically an overestimation of the nea...
