SUMMARY:Linking surface-based observations to improving climate and foreca
 st models in southern high latitudes - Simon Alexander (Australian Antarct
 ic Division)

DESCRIPTION:Recent Australian-led field campaigns in East Antarctica and t
 he Southern Ocean have provided a wealth of cloud\, precipitation and aero
 sol data which we are using to understand the unique microphysical process
 es in this region. The data are invaluable for the evaluation and improvem
 ent of a range of forecast and climate models\, including the UM. These ca
 mpaigns took place to help address the persistent large uncertainties in s
 urface radiation in climate models this region. In this talk\, I will disc
 uss some recent research highlights and focus on linking our observations 
 directly to model evaluation and improvement. I shall also describe future
  field campaigns and the science questions we seek to answer.
