WMO Cloud Modelling Workshop, Hamburg, 12. Juli 2004 Conclusions  two well documented cases (stratiform – convective) from BALTEX BRIDGE Campaigns  all observations (also for all other CLIWA-NET days) are available on request and soon using anonymous ftp at bbc.knmi.nl cliwa_dvd  all models seem to represent synoptic situation well  for stratiform case Meso-NH reproduces low level stratus cloud best  for convective case statistical analysis has to be made  Lokal-Modell has problems with contiguous clouds and the production of slight precipitation
