Published purpose
Overshooting deep convection is an extreme weather condition that is affected by but also feeds back to climate change. Its complex nature makes it difficult to represent it in global climate models and to observe it with satellites. We propose to integrate satellite measurements with high-resolution numerical modeling to improve the characterization of the cloud, humidity, temperature (including that inside clouds) and radiation fields associated with overshooting convection. The research will help improve Canada’s capacity for climate and weather prediction and strengthen its leadership role in Satellite Earth Observation.
