Simulation of stratocumulus clouds in the Dynamics and Chemistry of Marine Stratocumulus (DYCOMS) field study. Colors show the liquid water path (amount of liquid water in atmospheric columns) simulated with PyCLES. The simulation uses weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) schemes for discretization of all fluxes (of momentum, entropy, and total water), which leads to improved fidelity of simulations already at relative low resolution.
