Summary

Abstract: The project EUROCS aims to improve the treatment of cloud systems in
global and regional climate models. In addition, benefits will be also
gained for hydrology and severe weather issues. Clouds probably remain
the largest source of uncertainty affecting evaluations of climate
change in response to anthropogenic change. The recent interest to
develop capability to predict regional changes of ...
