This final report includes five reprints and preprints of papers associated with the modeling of cloud/radiation processes for large-scale clouds and tropical anvils. These papers present (1) a three-dimensional large-scale cloud model for testing the role of radiative heating and ice phase processes, (2) parameterization of the radiative properties of cirrus clouds, (3) discussion of the scattering and absorption properties of ice crystals in relation to numerical modeling, (4) improvements of an ice-phase microphysics parameterization for use in cloud models, and (5) physical discussions on the interactions of radiation and convection in simulated tropical cloud clusters using a cumulus ensemble model.
