1  Return to #1 or proceed forward
What is needed for a parameterization to be successful: Theory and detailed process modeling to focus on specific param elements Conduct simulations using the process models for the entire relevant range of thermodynamical and dynamical conditions; evaluate using obs  Develop new param, guided by theory and statistics, from process model simulations 4. Test new param in parcel models, CRMs, SCMs (including linkages to other parameterizations); evaluate using obs  5. Conduct sensitivity studies to see if the complexity of new param can be reduced (or needs to be increased) 6. Incorporate new param into a mesoscale model; evaluate using obs  7. Incorporate new param into GCM, assess impact of param on the model climate; evaluate using obs  8. Conduct GCM sensitivity studies to understand how param alters sensitivity  Return to #1 or proceed forward

2 Dual Moment Bulk Microphysical Models
Microphysical elements that need parameterizing : • Liquid drop nucleation • Ice particle nucleation • Diffusional growth • Liquid droplet size spectra • Ice crystal size spectra • Fall speed • Particle collection and aggregation • Subgrid-scale supersaturation fluctuations Key issue is to get the microphysical elements interacting correctly with the aerosols to produce the correct indirect effect and getting new parameterizations into GCMs
