Here are the topics that will be addressed
Week 1. Processes observed in the field : identification of the needs for further process understanding
=> field experiments and ground-based sites
Week 2. Exporting the processes into a larger-scale view : where and when does it occur ?
=> upscaling with satellite observations
Week 3. Extracting the relevant physical concept from the set of observations : how does it relate to the laws of dynamics and thermodynamics ?
=> link with theory : equations, 1D column atmosphere, cloud-resolving models
Week 4. Evaluation of the physics in a regional or global model : is the process present in models ? How well is it represented ?
=> Observation-based diagnostic for climate modelers
