Marine stratocumuli are the most dominant cloud type by area coverage in the Southern Ocean (SO). They can be divided into different self-organized cellular morphological regimes known as open and closed mesoscale-cellular convec- tive (MCC) clouds. Open and closed cells are the two most frequent ty...
