Roll vortices in the planetary boundary layer: A review
D. Etling,Robert A. Brown +1 more
TL;DR: Roll vortices may be loosely defined as quasi-two-dimensional organized large eddies with their horizontal axis extending through the whole planetary boundary layer (PBL), and their indirect manifestation is most obvious in so-called cloud streets as can be seen in numerous satellite pictures as mentioned in this paper.

B. W. Atkinson,J. Wu Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: A review of the observational, experimental, theoretical, and numerical studies of mesoscale shallow convection (MSC) in the atmosphere can be found in this paper, where a review of theoretical and laboratory analyses and numerical modeling of MSC is presented.

Marine Stratocumulus Cloud Fields off the Coast of Southern California Observed Using LANDSAT Imagery. Part I: Structural Characteristics
TL;DR: The structural characteristics of stratocumulus cloud fields off the coast of southern California are investigated using Landsat Multispectral Scanner imagery as mentioned in this paper, and it was found that stratocummulus clouds are bifractal in nature with fractal dimension of d of about 1.2 for cells with diameter D smaller than 0.5 km and d of approximately 1.5 for cells having D greater than 0.5 km.

The stratocumulus nature of fog
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed Landsat MSS and TM digital data on fog cell size distribution, cell aspect ratio, and cell orientation angle for three high inversion radiation fogs in central California and on advection fog in eastern South Dakota.

On the interaction between marine boundary layer cellular cloudiness and surface heat fluxes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between marine boundary layer cellular cloudiness and surface fluxes of sensible heat, latent heat, and sea salt aerosol and found that the open-cell state creates conditions conducive to its maintenance by enhancing the surface sensible heat flux.

TL;DR: Flow observations and thermal data have shown that there are, as expected, convective motions caused by surface tension gradients in a plane liquid layer with a free upper surface.
