“Whenever possible, parameterizations should … be quantitatively validated against observations“ (Peixoto & Oort 1991) Textbook knowledge: High resolution … … simulation models need special data, e.g from dedicated field campaigns here:wind,boundary layer, precipitation microphysics Which variables and processes?

Concluding messages Potentially useful, non-standard data are available for parameterization test of high-resolution models; here: remotely sensed wind and precipitation A suitable number of case-studies may be more revealing than standard statistics Modelling and measuring camps have to come closer together DANKE for listening to me !!!
