چکیده
A Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) longwave image of the cold air outbreak (left panel) and snapshots of simulations of five different mesoscale models. Lighter colors correspond to lower longwave radiation (colder temperatures). Overall the large-scale features are well reproduced and most models simulate a transition to a cumulus regime with a cellular structure. See the workshop report by P. Siebesma on page 7.

متن کاملPreface: The LITFASS-2003 experiment
The success of weather forecasting and climate prediction essentially depends on our ability to understand and describe the energy and water cycles at various spatial and temporal scales. This has been recognised by theWMO in initiating theGlobal Energy andWater Cycle Project (GEWEX) as one of the major research activities within the framework of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP). GEW...
