Statistically Steady State Large‐Eddy Simulations Forced by an Idealized GCM: 1. Forcing Framework and Simulation Characteristics

Abstract Using large‐eddy simulations (LES) systematically has the potential to inform parameterizations of subgrid‐scale processes in general circulation models (GCMs), such as turbulence, convection, and clouds. Here we show how LES can be run to simulate grid columns of GCMs to generate LES acros...
