Dear Cloud-Climate Interactions (formerly Low Cloud Feedbacks) Group,<p></p>

I will be leading the cloud-climate interactions breakout at the CMMAP team meeting in Fort Collins, which will be held on the first afternoon of the meeting (Tuesday, August 7th).  I will give a talk on the CGILS LES intercomparison, and Prof. Masaki Satoh (who will be attending this meeting) will also give a talk.  Other contributions are most welcome.  We have two hours to fill, and it would be interesting to have other perspectives on cloud-climate interactions.  Please contact me if you would like to give a talk.<p></p>

Sincerely yours,<p></p>

Peter

  Dear All,<p></p>

So far we have five talks planned for the session:<ul>

<li> Masaki Satoh (U Tokyo), Cloud responses simulated by NICAM
<li> Andrew Gettelman (NCAR), Understanding climate sensitivity and cloud feedbacks in the evolution of a climate model from CMIP3 to CMIP5.
<li> Kuan-Man Xu (NASA Langley), Conditions along the GPCI Transect as simulated in CAM5 and SP-CAM.
<li> Mike Pritchard (UW), SP-CAM Forecasts of the MJO
<li> Peter Blossey (UW), CGILS LES Intercomparison</ul><br />
Please let me know if anyone else would like to make a presentation as part of the breakout group.  Thanks.<p></p>

 - Peter<p></p>

PS  While Mike Pritchard's talk on the MJO in SP-CAM may seem a bit out of place, participation in intercomparison efforts is part of the cloud-climate group's mandate.  Our participation in CGILS and the MJO intercomparison represent two such efforts.<p></p>
