Where did we start?Where did we start?
1990: The single largest cause of variability in climate models is the treatment of clouds and their coupling to the earth radiation budget– Cess et al., JGR
– Our Changing Planet, USGCRP
=> the cloud parameterization problem

ARM Questions
• If we can specify a cloud field, can we compute the radiative fluxes?
=> Requires knowledge of cloud properties
(3D structure, water path, phase, size,
etc.)

– Solar direct irradiance to < 0.5%
– Solar diffuse irradiance to < 10 W/m2
(if we account for diffuse radiometer offset)
• Remaining uncertainty probably due to absorption by trace gas species or aerosol
