چکیده
GMPP Activities Highlighted in this Issue GPCI analyzes weather and climate models along a cross section of the Pacific Ocean. Histograms of total cloud cover versus latitude along the GPCI cross section for June–July–August 1998 from the UKMO/HadGAM model, ISCCP and the NCAR/CAM3 model. These show that some climate models (e.g., UKMO/HadGAM) exhibit a quasi-bimodal structure with cloud cover being either close to 100 percent or close to zero, while other climate models (e.g., NCAR/CAM3) show a more continuous transition. See article below.

متن کاملPreface: The LITFASS-2003 experiment
The success of weather forecasting and climate prediction essentially depends on our ability to understand and describe the energy and water cycles at various spatial and temporal scales. This has been recognised by theWMO in initiating theGlobal Energy andWater Cycle Project (GEWEX) as one of the major research activities within the framework of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP). GEW...
