DESCRIPTION:Clouds are an important part of the Earth's climate system\, b
 oth in radiative terms and in terms of transport of heat and moisture. But
  because clouds are so much smaller than grid boxes in global climate mode
 ls\, their behaviour needs to be parameterised - represented simply in ter
 ms of large-scale quantities. While most parameterisations use a single\, 
 average cloud to represent a whole grid box\, CCFM generates a spectrum of
  possible clouds and then tracks their evolution using a model of predator
 s competing for available resources (in this case\, buoyant energy).\n\nI 
 will present a basic background of how CCFM works\, and then describe the 
 effects of two improvements on the published version of CCFM.
