This project evaluates data from ARM and European sites to enhance climate models. ARM seeks input on usefulness for CAM and AMWG integration. Can best estimate products be added to AMWG diagnostic package?
E N D
ARM Validation Data for Climate Models • ARM-Net • Best Estimate Climate Data
CloudNet – A European Project (Illingworth et al. BAMS 2007)
The Proposal (Hogan et al.) • Cloud radar data from ARM and European sites are processed into GCM variables (cloud fraction, liquid water and ice water). • Seven European models, NCEP models, and other climate models are evaluated (near real-time processing) • ARM asks for input: • Whether this is useful to CAM? • How can AMWG make use of the proposed activity?
ARM to AMWG: • Can these best estimate products be added to the AMWG diagnostic package?
