Factors Governing Cloud Growth and Entrainment Rates in Shallow Cumulus and Cumulus Congestus During GoAmazon 2014/2015
Shallow cumulus and cumulus congestus clouds play an important role in the large-scale tropical circulation by mixing heat and moisture vertically and preconditioning the environment for deeper convection. Different representations of these shallow clouds also account for much of the spread in …

The Impacts of Wind Farms on Cumulus Development in the Central Great Plains
Cumulus clouds have a net cooling effect on the surface radiative balance by reflecting more downwelling solar radiation than absorbing upwelling terrestrial radiation. As boundary layer cumuli form from buoyant, moist plumes ascending from the surface, their growth may be hindered by the turbulent …

Transcriptional profiles of cumulus-oocyte complexes related to developmental competence in bovine oocytes
During folliculogenesis, oocytes and cumulus cells undergo many morphological and physiological changes. Transcriptome data were produced from single oocytes and corresponding cumulus cells (CC) to infer the differences in the transcript abundance from fully grown versus growing phase oocytes and …

Factors Controlling the Extent and Location of Cumulus Convection over the Sierras de Córdoba
We examine the factors controlling the location and extent of cumuli over the Sierras de Córdoba (SDC) of Argentina during the Cloud, Aerosol, and Complex Terrain Interactions (CACTI) field campaign. While it is well understood that mountains are effective at producing cloud cover via thermal and …

A numerical modeling investigation of entrainment in cumulus congestus clouds and its effects upon precipitation
… of convective rainfall. An idealized, simulated cumulus congestus was used to analyze how successive thermals diluted differently when entraining air locally modified by their predecessors. Directly-calculated entrainment rates were found to be strongest at the rear of each successive thermal, …

The formulation of a classification procedure for specific use on cumulus cloud weather modification experiments
… of increasing rainfall from individual cumuli or cumulus cloud systems. The principal objectives of these experiments are the evaluation of treatment effects and the identification of situations where seeding with artificial ice-nuclei is likely to have positive results. The classification of …

Role of oocyte-secreted factors in prevention of cumulus cell apoptosis and enhancement of oocyte developmental competence.
… factors, OSFs) regulate a broad range of cumulus cell functions. The capacity of oocytes to regulate their own microenvironment by OSFs may in turn contribute to oocyte developmental competence. The aim of this thesis was to examine whether cumulus cells exhibit a low incidence of …

A Cumulus Parameterization Study With Special Attention to the Arakawa-Schubert Scheme (semi-Prognostic, Meso-Scale Simulation)
Arakawa and Schubert (1974) developed a cumulus parameterization scheme in a framework that conceptually divides the mutual interaction of the cumulus convection and large-scale disturbance into the categories of large-scale budget requirements and the quasi-equilibrium assumption of cloud work …

CWRF summer precipitation prediction over the United States land and coastal oceans: effects of ensemble cumulus parameterization closures
… still exhibit biases and are highly sensitive to cumulus parameterization (CUP) especially during the summer. Most current models also tend to predict rainfall too early in the daytime and too frequently at the light intensity over both land and oceans. These problems have been identified with …
