Model intercomparison for cloud fraction


This links on this page show comparisons of the performance of various models at forecasting cloud fraction, particularly focusing on skill scores. For more detailed comparisons with the observations for individual models (e.g. mean, frequency of occurrence, amount when present and PDFs), click on the links to "individual models" below.

DOE, Office of ScienceOne of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE's Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
