Climate Process Team (CPT): Low-Latitude Cloud Feedbacks on Climate Sensitivity.
GoalsThe Climate Process Team (CPT) is a new approach to improve climate modeling. The concept of a CPT is that a group of scientists, i.e. modelers, observationalists, theoreticians work closely together to improve the parameterization of a particular process in climate models.The CPT on Low-Latitude Cloud Feedbacks on Climate Sensitivity was motivated by the fact that two leading US models: the NCAR and the GFDL models produced a very different response in the change of low-level clouds in a doubled carbon dioxide scenario. Our team was formed to increase the understanding of tropical and subtropical cloud feedbacks on climate sensitivity and to reduce the large uncertainty in the climate model simulations of these feedbacks. A complete description of the goals and organization of the CPT on Low-Latitude Cloud Feedbacks on Climate Sensitivity can be found at the main CPT webpage: http://www.atmos.washington.edu/~breth/CPT-clouds.html |
