ARRA Project: Use of MERRA to contribute to improving cloud and convection parameterizations
Begin Main Content
Overview
MERRA analyses will be extracted for periods identified by a team, consisting of Goddard, JPL and LaRC scientists, to place satellite data in a meteorological context and to expand the parameter space explored by Cloud-Resolving Model (CRM) and Single Column Model (SCM) simulations. This MERRA forcing data will be used to conduct simulations with the GEOS-5 SCM over an extended parameter space of meteorological backgrounds at locations with verifying data (field campaigns, satellite tracks, the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program sites.
