GEWEX Cloud System Study: Working Group 3
Orographic Effects
A systematic effort is starting within the working group to improve the representation of orographically-affected cloud systems within large scale and climate models. This initiative will proceed through several initiatives including: the preparation of a review article, a satellite-based survey of the extent of cloudiness in relation to orography, and the preparation of datasets for assessing model capabilities for these cloud systems.
