The Global Energy and Exchanges Process Evaluation Studies (GEWEX PROES) intend to provide observational based metrics for a better understanding of climate related physical processes and thus to advance their representation in research, weather and climate models. Convection is a fundamental mode of mixing and transport, moving heat, moisture, momentum, and atmospheric constituents through the Earth’s atmosphere. Convective storms are the sole source of precipitation in many regions of our planet. UT clouds, formed as outflow of convection, play a vital role in the Earth’s weather and climate system by modulating the Earth’s energy budget and UT heat transport.
