Abstract
The evolution of a planetary boundary layer topped by stratocumulus clouds is investigated theoretically. The derivation of a simulation model based on two-dimensional shallow moist Boussinesq convection is examined in detail, and the numerical results are presented in extensive tables and maps. The horizontal asymmetry of the circulation within a convective couplet is shown to increase with cloud depth and latent heating, so that the circulation becomes detached from that of the subcloud layer when the clouds fill one-third to one-half of the domain.
