“…Consequently, the use of ε and δ in a mass flux framework might be troublesome. Randall et al (2003) confirmed the slow progress on the parametrisation of convection. They therefore advocated the use of superparametrisation through the use of two-dimensional CRM within each grid box of weather and climate models to break what they called the cloud parametrisation deadlock.…”

“…The Global Energy and Water Exchange (GEWEX) Cloud System Study (GCSS) project was set up to facilitate the development and testing of improved cloud parametrizations for climate and numerical weather prediction (NWP) models (Randall et al, 2003). GCSS aims to achieve this by using observations and cloud (system)-resolving models (CRMs), which act as the best numerical representation of the cloud system, to improve understanding of the physical processes that occur within specific cloud systems and thus inform and guide parametrization development.…”

“…The current paper, part two of this study, describes results for a deeper, multilayered, mixed-phase cloud system. The goals are to document the current state of model simulations of Arctic mixed-phase clouds and to suggest future areas of work which the GEWEX Cloud System Study (GCSS) (Randall et al, 2003; GEWEX is the Global Energy and Water Experiment) Polar Cloud Working Group may use to understand model differences and develop recommendations for parametrizations in large-scale models. Part II of this study represents, to our knowledge, the first model intercomparison focused specifically on deep, multilayered mixed-phase clouds which commonly occur in the Arctic.…”
