From the event's website:
The problem to understand and simulate clouds and precipitation is longstanding and unequivocal in its importance for our community. It is also multidimensional: observation, theory and model development must go hand in hand to improve our understanding. The processes involving clouds and precipitation span scales ranging from the microphysical to radiative and thermodynamic effects that are emergent globally. They cannot be subsumed by one single computer simulation but must always be treated in a unified combination of process observation, theory and modelling. The multi-scale nature of the problem also naturally explains why it will not be possible to fully resolve the problem in any reasonable way in the foreseeable future. Instead, we will have to adapt our approaches to the questions that are being posed.
Four sessions:
- Advances in observing clouds and precipitation
- Advances in parametrizing cloud and precipitation
- Process based constraints for climate prediction
