reaching the inversion. Cloud-top entrainment profoundly impacts the type and coverage of clouds within the MBL because it plays such an important role in the MBL moisture, heat, and momentum budgets ( Lilly 1968 ; Bretherton and Wyant 1997 ; Wyant et al. 1997 ; Stevens 2002 ; Stevens et al. 2002 ). In addition, cloud-top entrainment controls how MBL clouds respond to increased greenhouse gases ( Caldwell and Bretherton 2009 ) and atmospheric aerosols ( Ackerman et al. 2004 ; Wood 2007
