Primary Investigator: Dr. Andrew S. Jones
Start Date: October 1st, 2012

• The focus of the CSU ACAPS FY12 activities will be the analysis of the ACAPS cloud performance during the 2012 HyMeX field experiment case study (for details see: http://www.hymex.org/).
• CSU will deliver satellite cloud products to NCAR for verification test purposes of the ACAPS case studies.
• In FY12, CSU will implement a full diagnostic package based on MET to verify the cloud analysis and forecast products. CSU will also conduct inter-comparison experiments during the HyMeX field campaign. CSU will interact with AFWA and NCAR scientists to interpret and publish the results, and make recommendations for future ACAPS enhancements.
