Page 3© Crown copyright Relevance of clouds in the ARB  The vertical distribution and overlap of cloud layers determine the magnitude and vertical profile of radiative heating, which then exerts an influence in the large-scale circulation. ATM Radiation BudgetATM CRFs

Page 4© Crown copyright Impact on ocean heat transport  By modulating the distribution of heating between the atmosphere and the surface, clouds influence the circulation of the oceans. (Glecker, GRL, 2005)

Page 5© Crown copyright Feedback loop These large-scale impacts are connected to cloud physical properties through a feedback loop. (Stephens et al., BAMS, 2002) This loop involves a wide range of spatio-temporal scales => the Unified Model appears to be an adequate framework to link interactions at different scales

Page 9© Crown copyright Our approach  To facilitate the exploitation of CloudSat and CALIPSO data in numerical models, we are developing a system that allows to simulate the signal that CloudSat/CALIPSO would see in a model- generated world.  CFMIP CloudSat/CALIPSO Simulator (C3S):  LMD/IPSL, LLNL, CSU, UW, Met Office  Flexible tool to simulate active instruments in models (climate, forecast, cloud-resolving)  This 'model-to-satellite' approach has proven successful in recent years, with the development of the ISCCP simulator 1 and the simulation of satellite channel radiances 2. 1: (Klein and Jakob, 1999; Webb et al., 2001) 2: (Ringer et al., 2003)

Page 22© Crown copyright Conclusions and future work  Tool to simulate radar reflectivities in the UM  New perspective on clouds and precipitation  Comparisons with global forecast model:  The overall vertical structure of ML systems is well represented  LS precipitation is also generally well captured in the occluded sector  Cloud top height matches very well the obs.  Indications of too much cirrus/cirrostratus  Indications of too much drizzle production  Need to develop more quantitative, statistically-based approaches  Developing a community simulator:  CFMIP CloudSat/CALIPSO Simulator (C3S) (LMD/IPSL, LLNL, CSU)  Flexible tool to simulate active instruments in models (climate, forecast, cloud-resolving)
