Lagrangian analyses of clouds and other atmospheric phenomena provide significant potential to understand and constrain their full lifecycle. A cloud tracking algorithm is essential for AOS observations and INCUS to characterize convection and its lifecycle. Advancing the understanding of convective lifecycles and their associated convective and precipitation processes, as well as environmental parameters will aid the GEWEX mission in measuring and predicting global and regional energy and water patterns through improved observational and modeling efforts.
The goals of this workshop are to clarify the necessary Geo ‘products’ required for a better characterization of cloud features/objects, to examine their associated convective and precipitation processes, and to study environmental parameters across different phases of cloud formation and evolution. The outcomes of this workshop will help us better strategize the creation of toolkits that enable the tracking of both shallow and deeper clouds.
