The role of cloud-top entertainment in coastal stratocumulus topped boundary layers

Several issues associated with vertical grid resolution and the turbulence parameterization in mesoscale models are addressed in this study. Of particular concern is the issue of cloud top entrainment, the entrainment fluxes, and the impact entrainment has on boundary layer development and inversion...
