Abstract: Climate Model Development and Validation: (1) DOE's E3SM model being developed with goal of an increased resolution of 13 km (right arrow) assumptions made in convective parameterizations may not apply. (2) Need long term dataset with quantifiable large scale forcings to evaluate performance of convective parameterizations. (3) Vertical velocities are critical for calculating mass fluxes but are poorly represented in GCMs. (4) Dual Doppler techniques can retrieve vertical velocities, but unce...
