Abstract

Recently a range of sophisticated large-eddy simulations of thecloud-topped boundary layer have been intercompared and furthercompared with observations and single column models. Here we comparethese results with perhaps the simplest model of the cloud-toppedboundary layer, namely a mixed-layer model. Results from the model aredescribed with two aims in mind. Firstly, the good results act as areminder of the success of simple models, and, secondly, we suggestthat a simple mixed-layer model could be used as a baseline for futuremodel intercomparisons.
