Blindtest cases • FIRE: First ISCCP Regional Experiment • ASTEX: Atlantic & Stratocumulus Transition Experiment • conducted in the eastern North Atlantic Ocean • designed to improve the understanding of the physical processes involved in the life cycles of cirrus and marine stratocumulus systems, the radiative properties of these clouds and their interactions • both cases from LES: • no explicit microphysics for FIRE case? assumption of constant N • ASTEX?
