Contributor De Roode, S.R. (mentor) Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Geoscience and Remote Sensing Programme Applied Physics Date 2015-11-26 Abstract Using the Dutch Atmospheric Large-Eddy Simulation model (DALES) the atmosphere in both a pure radiative and a radiative-convective equilibrium is investigated. These simulations are performed on a domain which top is located at 30 kilometres. This high altitude requires some modifications of the radiative transfer code used in DALES. The effects of the imposed surface temperature on the resulting surface heat flux and evaporation, temperature profiles and cloud fields are investigated. The results of this thesis show that DALES can be well used to study equilibrium states of deep convective clouds, paving the way for future research.
