| Abstract: | High resolution two-dimensional numerical experiments of rising thermals in a stably stratified environment were performed to study the cloud boundary instability. Unstable modes develop on the leading edge of the rising thermal, which are driven by the buoyant production of vorticity and lead to the type of entraining eddies that are throught to be responsible for observed dilution of convective clouds |

| Title: | A stochastic mixing model for nonprecipitating cumulus clouds |
| Publication: | J. Atmos. Sci., 43, 2708-2718 |
| Abstract: | Recent work suggests that nonprecipitating cumulus clouds must be considered as aggregates of many parcels always moving toward buoyancy equilibrium, example, some parcels originating at low levels seem to ascend to their level of undilute neutral buoyancy before mixing with the environment, while other mix at intermediate levels. |
