✦ Synopsis

By assuming that cumulus clouds grow from patches of air that extend from the well-mixed layer bear the surface, a model of fair-weather cumulus convection is developed. The model predicts the structure of the well-mixed layer and the cloud layer; in particular, cloud cover is estimated as a function of time. The model results are compared with laboratory and field observations.

## Abstract This paper describes the design of and basic results from a case study to compare simulations of convection over the Tropical West Pacific. Simulations are carried out using a cloud‐resolving model (CRM), a global numerical weather prediction (NWP) model and a single‐column version of t

This paper reports on a storm event which, due to its extreme nature, produced severe attenuation and local anomalous propagation of the weather radar beam. The effect of this phenomenon on the perceived precipitation is reported, together with the synoptic situation.
