Cloudy Highland is a dull and very
grey stage, with a long winding road and low
clouds; Industrial Complex is a fascinating maze of pipes, cranes and scaffolding underneath a brown sky;
Snow Mountain is an awesomely large mountain covered in - erm, snow, with a few aqueducts and tunnels - while Ghost Forest is a stage we didn't get to

The 2013 Wake features
Snow's hometown friend Heather (now an Austin - based chef) with
clouds of
grey across her face, like sleep's last remnants, instead of the tropical shadows from last year's watercolor.
The meeting will mainly cover the following themes, but can include other topics related to understanding and modelling the atmosphere: ● Surface drag and momentum transport: orographic drag, convective momentum transport ● Processes relevant for polar prediction: stable boundary layers, mixed - phase
clouds ● Shallow and deep convection: stochasticity, scale - awareness, organization,
grey zone issues ●
Clouds and circulation feedbacks: boundary - layer
clouds, CFMIP, cirrus ● Microphysics and aerosol -
cloud interactions: microphysical observations, parameterization, process studies on aerosol -
cloud interactions ● Radiation: circulation coupling; interaction between radiation and
clouds ● Land - atmosphere interactions: Role of land processes (
snow, soil moisture, soil temperature, and vegetation) in sub-seasonal to seasonal (S2S) prediction ● Physics - dynamics coupling: numerical methods, scale - separation and
grey - zone, thermodynamic consistency ● Next generation model development: the challenge of exascale, dynamical core developments, regional refinement, super-parametrization ● High Impact and Extreme Weather: role of convective scale models; ensembles; relevant challenges for model development
