Manuscript Accepted for Publication in Monthly Weather Review: A manuscript entitled "Comparison of WRF model-simulated and MODIS-derived cloud data" was accepted for publication in Monthly Weather Review. The paper by Jason Otkin (Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies) and Thomas Greenwald (CIMSS) examines the ability of different cloud microphysical and planetary boundary layer schemes implemented in the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model to realistically simulate cloud properties.
