 ==== A brief history ====
-The InScAPE parameterization testbed is a continuation of the [[http://www.knmi.nl|KNMI]] Parameterization Testbed (KPT). The KPT was initiated and developed by Prof. Roel Neggers when affiliated at the KNMI in the period 2007-2013. What KPT and InScAPE share is the [[http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/abs/10.1175/BAMS-D-11-00162.1|general modelling and evaluation strategy]] that is applied. Currently the InScAPE testbed includes simulations at and observational data from a number of meteorological supersites. The home site is the Jülich ObservatorY for Cloud Evolution ([[http://gop.meteo.uni-koeln.de/ag_crewell/doku.php?id=sites:joyce|JOYCE]]) that is located at the Research Centre Jülich, and is operated by the [[http://gop.meteo.uni-koeln.de/ag_crewell/doku.php?id=home|research group of Prof.Susanne Crewell]]. Simulations are also performed at the Barbados Cloud Observatory ([[http://www.mpimet.mpg.de/en/science/the-atmosphere-in-the-earth-system/initiatives/barbadosstation.html|BCO]]), in order to study fast feedback mechanisms between subtropical marine boundary-layer clouds and the changing global climate. Recently the [[http://gop.meteo.uni-koeln.de/ag_crewell/doku.php?id=sites:awipev| AWIPEV]] site at Ny Ålesund was added to the list of supersites, as part of our participation in the ongoing TR172 project on Arctic Amplification [[http://www.ac3-tr.de/|(AC)]]<sup>3</sup>. In the near future we also plan to perform simulations at the ARM SGP site, in collaboration with the ongoing LASSO initiative. FIXME

 Domain size of 12.6x12.6x5km. Interactive radiation, using ECMWF state (including clouds) above the turbulent domain. Background ozone profile.
-While simulations are simplified, it does make them more transparent and computationally efficient. A benefit of simplicity is the huge gain in time coverage that is allowed, allowing for multi-year simulation. Currently our database of DALES simulations covers five years of April-September period, from 2012 to 2016.
