The US CLIVAR Micro2Macro workshop will develop the foundation of a new framework to confront and evaluate climate models using observations to improve our process-based understanding and strategically reduce climate projection uncertainty. Workshop themes will include:

• Identifying key structural model differences that cause cascading uncertainties from microphysical processes to macrophysical cloud properties and climate change
• Evaluating the scale mismatch between in-situ observations, remotely sensed microphysical properties, and macrophysical climate properties
• Quantifying and constraining the effects of microphysical process uncertainty on climate projection uncertainty
• Investigating connections between modeling and observations of aerosol, clouds and precipitation across the globe

The workshop will be held in Laramie, Wyoming from October 28 to 30 and will include a virtual attendance option to allow for broader participation.
