## Abstract A closure for the fluxes of mass, heat, and moisture at cloud base in the cumulusโcapped boundary layer is developed. The cloudโbase mass flux is obtained from a simplifed turbulence kinetic energy (TKE) budget for the subโcloud layer, in which cumulus convection is assumed to be associ
