Climate Change Simulations Over the Tropics

The studies aim at enhancing understanding of tropical cloud cover variations, exploring RCMs' potential in capturing multiscale aspects of the tropical climate, and assessing the role of tropical clouds in climate change through comprehensive experiments.
