Cloud base vertical velocity statistics: a comparison between an atmospheric mesoscale model and remote sensing observations

The statistics of cloud base vertical velocity simulated by the non-hydrostatic mesoscale model AROME are compared with Cloudnet remote sensing observations at two locations: the ARM SGP site in central Oklahoma, and the DWD observatory at Lindenberg, Germany. The results show that AROME significant...
