The GEWEX Upper Tropospheric Clouds and Convection Process Evaluation Study (UTCC PROES) working group was created in 2015 to ultimately advance our knowledge of the climate feedbacks of Upper Tropospheric (UT) clouds. Convection is a fundamental mode of mixing and transport, moving heat, moisture, momentum, and atmospheric constituents through the Earth’s atmosphere. Convective storms are the sole source of precipitation in many regions of our planet. UT clouds, formed as outflow of convection, play a vital role in the Earth’s weather and climate system by modulating the Earth’s energy budget and UT heat transport. As large-scale modeling is necessary to identify the most influential feedback mechanisms, it is important that the relevant cloud processes are well represented in climate models. Therefore, UTCC PROES goals are to:
The Upper-Tropospheric Clouds and Convection (UTCC) Process Evaluation Study (PROES) meeting is planned to take place in conjunction with 2025 GDAP meeting .
The agenda will be available in the second half of April 2025.
The 2025 UTCC PROES meeting is by inviation only. Registration opens in early January 2025.
The UTCC PROES meeting will be held at:
Sorbonne Université – Pierre and Marie Curie Campus (UPMC)
Tower 45-55 – IPSL Seminar room (2nd Floor)
4 place Jussieu
75005 Paris, France
