 Our research into cloud schemes focuses on how to represent clouds and cloud processes in numerical models which do not have sufficient resolution to resolve clouds. As both weather forecast or climate models fall into this category this research has high societal and academic relevance.
-There are many possible way to parametrize clouds, but the approach we focus on is called a PDF scheme. PDF stands for probability density function, and the scheme receives it's name from the analytical PDF it uses to describe the distribution of total water in each model cell.

 Clouds in Large-Scale Models and Its Use to Diagnose Cloud Cover" which Vera Schemann revised and extended in her 2014 PhD Thesis "Towards a scale aware cloud process parametrization for global climate models".
