Research Highlight
Entrainment rates in the cloud zones of continental shallow cumulus
The saturation deficit regions of the clouds are strongly affected by the entrainment and mixing of moist cloudy air with drier environmental air due to ascending and descending moist thermal plumes differing in the buoyancy. Study identifies the different dilution regimes of clouds with the three parameter clustering method and illustrates the larger entrainment rates in the drier environment. The core region is less diluted and exhibits large liquid water content. Both CAIPEEX aircraft observations and large eddy simulation shows an increase in entrainment rate with a decrease in adiabatic fraction and this relationship is very useful for the large-scale modelers.
