The Development and Verification of A Cloud Prediction Scheme For the Ecmwf Model
Abstract
This paper describes the development of a fractional cloud cover scheme which was implemented operationally in the ECMWF medium range forecast model in May 1985. the scheme is based on a diagnostic approach in which cloudiness is related empirically to the large‐scale model variables, including convective activity. an example of the performance of the scheme is given, showing that a fair degree of skill is achieved in forecasting tropical and extratropical cloudiness. an attempt to verify the results using retrieved cloudiness from Nimbus 7 is described. Considerable difficulties were experienced due to the different height classifications of clouds in the model and in the satellite data. the importance of cloud radiative properties as well as cloud amount is considered briefly, based on a comparison of model earth radiation budget diagnostics with similar data from the NOAA polar‐orbiting satellites. the sensitivity of the simulated outgoing long‐wave radiance to changes in the prescribed cloud liquid water content is discussed. Two examples of the effects of cloudradiation interaction on boundary layer processes are described which demonstrate the importance of an integrated approach to the treatment of clouds, radiation and turbulent fluxes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
