Workshop on cloud-parameterization and cloud-radiation interactions held July 6-8, 2005
July 18, 2005
A cloud workshop was held from 6-8 July 2005 at Fort Collins, Colorado. In this workshop, all the key outstanding problems of prognostic cloud-parameterization and cloud-radiation interactions were discussed. Dr. Yogesh Sud (Code 613.2) presented some recent upgrades to McRAS, a cloud scheme in use in the Climate and Radiation Branch, as well as some new methodologies currently being evaluated to extract number density and dropsize distribution of cloud particles from first principles of physics of nucleating condensation under the influence of vertical motion.
