Interaction of a Cumulus Cloud Ensemble with the Large-Scale Environment, Part I
- A. Arakawa, W. Schubert
- Environmental Science
- 1 April 1974
Abstract A theory of the interaction of a cumulus cloud ensemble with the large-scale environment is developed. In this theory, the large-scale environment is divided into the subcloud mixed layer… Expand

A Potential Enstrophy and Energy Conserving Scheme for the Shallow Water Equations
- A. Arakawa, V. R. Lamb
- Physics
- 1981
Abstract To improve the simulation of nonlinear aspects of the flow over steep topography, a potential enstrophy and energy conserving scheme for the shallow water equations is derived. It is pointed… Expand
Breaking the Cloud Parameterization Deadlock
- D. Randall, M. Khairoutdinov, A. Arakawa, W. Grabowski
- Physics
- 1 November 2003
A key factor limiting the reliability of simulations of anthropogenic climate change is the inability to accurately represent the various effects of clouds on climate. Despite the best efforts of t...

Peruvian stratus clouds and the tropical Pacific circulation
- Christian Ma, C. R. Mechoso, A. Robertson, A. Arakawa
- Environmental Science
- 1 July 1996
Abstract Extensive and persistent stratus cloud decks are prominent climatic features off the Peruvian coast. They are believed to play a key role in the coupled atmosphere-ocean processes that… Expand
The parameterization of the planetary boundary layer in the UCLA general circulation model - Formulation and results
- M. Suarez, A. Arakawa, D. Randall
- Geology
- 1 November 1983
Abstract A planetary boundary layer (PBL) parameterization for general circulation models (GCMs) is presented. It uses a mixed-layer approach in which the PBL is assumed to be capped by… Expand
