The aim of the International Team will be to advance understanding of what controls the cloud amount in the trades\u00a0and patterns of convection in the broader tropics.\u00a0Our Study Project will link existing and forthcoming satellite\u00a0measurements to past,\u00a0ongoing and planned field and simulation studies of clouds and mesoscale circulations in\u00a0the\u00a0broader tropics. Our project is motivated by the WCRP Grand Science Challenge\u00a0Clouds, Circulation and Climate\u00a0Sensitivity,\u00a0the 2014 EUMETSAT Climate Symposium,\u00a0and an ISSI Workshop in early 2016 on\u00a0Shallow clouds and\u00a0water vapor, circulation and\u00a0climate sensitivity. With increasing specificity each of these activities pointed out the\u00a0need\u00a0to better understand, model and observe how water and circulations interact in the\u00a0lower troposphere.<\/p>\n
