| Summary: | ECMWF Integrated Forecasting System (IFS) single-site (Oden) Cloudnet output during MOCCHA - data are used in McCusker et al. : Evaluating Arctic clouds modelled with the Unified Model and Integrated Forecasting System, Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2023. IFS data are passed through the Cloudnet algorithm to produce calibrated model data that may be used for direct comparisons with observations. Cloudnet combines cloud radar, ceilometer, microwave radiometer, and radiosonde profiles averaged to a common grid at the cloud radar resolution to derive a set of retrieved cloud properties. The Cloudnet products are designed to be used for evaluation of weather forecast models as well as fundamental process studies of cloud. From a modelling perspective, Cloudnet converts liquid and ice mass mixing ratios to the respective cloud water contents for direct comparison with observations, as well as filtering ice water contents for values that would be unobservable by radar. Note that the latitude/longitude ... |
