Title:Cloud top entrainment instability
Publication:J. Atmos. Sci., 37, 131-147
Abstract:The criterion for instability of dry air mixing into a cloud top is determined both grapically and mathematically. It is found to be identical to the buoyancy-flux instability criterion of Randell (1976) based on stratocumulus mixed-layer jump-model equations which yield a cloud top jump in theta_e for marginal stability of order
