time-dependent cloud and mesoscale models, The report takes little note of the
development of simpler models and simpler domains, The fact that there are unknown
parameters in the bin models means that there are possibly hundreds of interactions that
will be affected, This argues for the development of bulk-water microphysical models
that have far fewer unknown parameters. The bin-microphysical models will be very
useful in developing the best parameterizations for the bulk-water microphysical models.
Climate change theory would have progressed very slowly if only the most complete and
complex models had been accepted. Every thing from one-dimensional to three-
dimensional models has been used. The same needs to be done in weather modification,
and particularly in the support of operational projects,
