This Notice requests applications for grants, both new and renewal that address the ARM goal of improving the accuracy of climate model simulations by enhancing the representation of cloud and radiation processes in climate models. The research areas of interest include the development of algorithms for retrieving the required measurements from ARM instruments, studies utilizing ARM data to improve the understanding of cloud and radiation physical processes, the translation of process study results into process models and parameterizations, and the incorporation of the submodels into climate models. Research to develop tools and methodologies for making ARM data more useful for the development and testing of climate models is especially encouraged. Modeling areas of interest include convection triggering conditions, closure assumptions, mechanisms and magnitudes of convective and mesoscale updrafts and downdrafts, convection-PBL interactions, and interactions of 3-D cloud and radiative processes.
