Purpose

This working group addresses the critical need to relate ARM cloud observation to climate model development and evaluation. 

The research uses two types of models:

• single column models which represent the evolution of the vertical profile of temperature, water vapor, and clouds averaged over a single grid-box of a global climate model, and 

• high-resolution cloud resolving models to represent convective and cloud processes over a limited area.

Results from our studies are then used to improve cloud parameterizations in global climate models.
