  1. CFMIP/GCSS Boundary Layer WGWorkshop on Evaluation and Understanding ofCloud Processes in GCMs GPCI, the second round… University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Monday 8th - Friday 12th June 2009 João Teixeira (joao.teixeira@jpl.nasa.gov) * Sambingo Cardoso (sambingo@ucar.edu)

  2. GPCI 2 – Topics for discussion 1. Which period? One possibility is to cover entire YOTC period – May 2008 to October 2009. Any other years/seasons of interest? GPCI original periods were JJA 1998 and 2003. 2. Just climate simulations? Or also forecasts (e.g. 1-day, 5-day) as well? 3. Should we ask for simulations like +/- 2K SST as well? 4. How to integrate LES/CRM simulations? Eulerian simulations at GPCI points? Lagrangian simulations? Idealized simulations? 5. What about simulator results (e.g. ISCCP, CloudSat)? 6. Coordination efforts vs. other ongoing/planned projects (e.g. CFMIP, YOTC, EUCLIPSE)? YOTC (Year Of Tropical Convection) “Conduct a Year of coordinated observing, modelling and forecasting of organized tropical convection and its influences on predictability...” “…the implementation focus for YOTC is to carry out an intensive “acquisition and integration” phase (IAIP)…” (The YOTC Science Plan - A joint WCRP – WWRP/THORPEX International Initiative) EUCLIPSE (EU Cloud Intercomparison, Process Study & Evaluation Project)
