    Abstract
    Despite decades of research, cloud-top entrainment has not been described with firm evidence. This leads to insufficient understanding of the physics of marine stratocumulus clouds. A Lagrangian Parcel Tracking Model (LPTM) was implemented in a large-eddy simulation model for detailed and direct analysis of the entrained air parcel following the parcel trajectory. The scalar advection scheme of the host model was replaced by a monotonic multidimensional odd-order conservative advection scheme. Tests with an idealized scalar field and stratocumulus turbulence suggested that the fifth-order scheme ...
