Global Lagrangian Cloud Dynamics

This project will address fundamental gaps in our understanding of how clouds form, how they interact with the atmospheric flow and how they need to be simulated in weather and climate models. Our inability to improve the representation of clouds and their interactions with the atmospheric flow is the leading cause of the high level of uncertainty associated with projections of future changes in storm tracks, precipitation bands and weather extremes. The representation of clouds in models is poor, largely because clouds are unresolved. Given the potentially significant impacts of projected global warming and the significant benefits of improved weather predictions, it is imperative to…
