Purpose:
To understand the causes of cloud feedbacks, and thus climate
sensitivities of climate models.
Objectives:
1. To understand the physical mechanisms of cloud feedbacks
in SCMs
2. To interpret GCM cloud feedbacks by using SCM results
3. To Evaluate the SCM cloud feedbacks using LES
simulations

The second round of SCM simulations
Forcing revised to be the same as in LES
Control case temperature and relative humidity are now
directly from ECMWF Interim Analysis for July 2003 from
Martin Koehler.
1. Lower troposphere above the boundary layer is warmer,
with more realistic inversion height and strength.
2. More moisture in the boundary layer for LES to start with.
3. Subsidence extended to below 1000 mb, thus slightly
stronger than before below 900 mb.

Points to Note
Some models maintain the same sign of feedbacks or negligible feedback at all three locations
Negative feedback: CAM4, ECMWF, JMA, UWM
Positive feedback: CAM5, CCC, CSIRO, ECHAM6, LMD, UKMO
Flipped: GISS, GSFC, RACMO (in the same direction: positive at s6, negative at s12).
Feedbacks at the two locations of S11 and S12 mostly show the same sign in the models

Points to Note
At S6, Two models show little feedback (CSIRO and UKMOL38) The small group show negative feedback (CAM4, ECMWF, JMA
UWM)The majority show positive feedback (CAM5, CCC, ECHAM6, GISS,
GSFC, LMD, RACMO)
At S11, Two models show little feedback (ECHAM6 and LMD)About half of the models show positive feedback (CAM5, CCC,
CSIRO, RACMO, UKMO)Half of the models show negative feedback (CAM4, ECMWF, GISS,
GSFC, JMA, UWM)
At S12, Two models show little feedback (ECHAM6 and LMD)Three models show positive feedback (CCC, CSIRO, UKMO)The majority show negative feedback (CAM4, CAM5, ECMWF,
GISS, GSFC, JMA, RACOM,UWM)

2. Less cloud water due to cloud-top mixing

Summary
1. Evidences suggest that the CGILS results from some models can be used to interpret GCM cloud feedbacks. For other models, especially those displaying multiple equilibrium behavior, alternative configuration of running the SCMs may be insightful. This was demonstrated by the LMD group who added transient forcing to break up the multiple equilibriums.
2. Two groups of models have been identified to show the same sign or negligible cloud feedbacks at all three locations, displaying positive and negative feedbacks. It would be interesting to see if the corresponding GCMs show the same sign of cloud feedbacks.
3. The deciding physical process appears to be the mixing at the cloud top, carried out either by explicit cloud-top entrainment or shallow convection.

Summary
4. Comparisons with LES and with GCMs are yet to be carried out. SCMers are waiting for LES and CFMIP results.

CGILS SCM Next Steps:
1. Understanding of processes in each model.
2. Re-configure simulations, such as adding transience, if results are suspicious.
3. Linking with GCMs
4. Use LES models to say something about the SCMs

CGILS LES Next Steps
1. At s11, reduce vertical resolution to 5 m for all models to seek consistent LES results
2. At s12, either the forcing data or the simulation setup will be revised to enable the LES models maintain stable cloud layer.

CGILS Future Plan
1. Use seasonal, interannual, and decadal variations to evaluate the models
2. Close coordination with CFMIP to conduct SCM&GCM sensitivity experiments
3. Use LES results to constrain the SCM parameterizations
