We invite your contribution to our AGU Fall Meeting session on “Lagrangian and Climatological Transitions of Warm Boundary Layer Clouds.” We seek a balance of observational and modeling-oriented perspectives and studies that integrate results across multiple platforms/field campaigns. We particularly welcome submissions from early-career scientists and members of underrepresented groups in atmospheric/climate science. Please consider submitting an abstract to session A070 — the deadline for submission is August 4th.

Session Confirmed Invited Speakers: Timothy Myers (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) and Louise Nuijens (Delft University of Technology).

We look forward to meeting you, virtually or in person, at AGU!

Regards,
Isabel McCoy (U Miami/UCAR)

A070. Lagrangian and Climatological Transitions of Warm Boundary Layer Clouds
Transitions of boundary layer cloudiness (e.g. from stratocumulus to cumulus, closed to open mesoscale cellular convection, etc.) are an important aspect of the climate system and have proven difficult to accurately simulate in both small and large scale models, revealing a fundamental gap in our understanding of both micro- and macro-scale atmospheric physics. In this session, we invite observational and modeling studies that expand our understanding of the interactions between meteorology, clouds, precipitation, radiation, aerosols, and turbulence that influence cloud transitions in areas of subtropical subsidence, post-frontal mid-latitude systems, and other significant low-lying warm cloud regimes. We especially encourage papers studying the Lagrangian and climatological transition between cloud organizational structures that utilize the wealth of information provided through combining satellite observations, modeling frameworks, and observations from multiple recent field campaigns (e.g. CAP-MBL, MAGIC, CSET, ACE-ENA, ORACLES, EUREC4A/ATOMIC, COMBLE, ACTIVATE).
