<br />Appendix B <br /> <br />Cloud dvnamics issues. The following are outstanding cloud dynamics issues: <br /> <br />· Cloud-to-cloud and mesoscale interactions, as they relate to updraft and downdraft <br />structures and cloud evolution and lifetimes <br /> <br />· Cloud and sub-cloud dynamical interactions as they relate to precipitation amounts and <br />the size spectrum of hydrometeors <br /> <br />· Microphysical, thermodynamical, and dynamical interactions within clouds <br /> <br />Cloud modelinl! issues. The following are outstanding cloud modeling issues: <br /> <br />· Combination of the best cloud models with advanced observing systems in carefully <br />designed field tests and experiments <br /> <br />. Extension of existing and development of new cloud-resolving models explicitly <br />applied to weather modification <br /> <br />· Application of short-term predictive models including precipitation forecasts and data <br />assimilation and adjoint methodology in treated and untreated situations <br /> <br />· Evaluation of predictive models for severe weather events and establishment of current <br />predictive capabilities including probabilistic forecasts <br /> <br />-3- <br />
