![]() Objectives of the Working Group
The GCSS (GEWEX
Cloud System Study) Boundary
Layer Cloud Working Group aims to improve physical parameterizations
of clouds and cloud related processes, and their interactions. We
conduct careful intercomparisons between observational or laboratory
case studies, 3D large-eddy-simulation models, single-column-model
(SCM) versions of climate and numerical weather prediction (NWP) models
of cloud-topped boundary layers. Most of the leading groups modelling
boundary layer clouds have participated in our annual workshops, held
every 12-18 months.
The BLCWG is currently chaired by Adrian Lock of the Met Office, UK.
