Abstract

Although the general mean features of the global atmosphere can be simulated satisfactorily in models of the general circulation of the atmosphere (GCM's), it is not yet possible to simulate details of the global energy and water cycle to an acceptable accuracy. One of the main problems lies in modelling with sufficient accuracy the formation of clouds, their interactions with the radiation field, and the effects of precipitation.
