Short summary
Clouds play a key role in Earth’s climate, but their representation in models remains uncertain. We use high-resolution simulations to examine how two statistical representations of cloud processes influence cloud and rain formation, and how these effects manifest in global models. We find that simulated clouds are highly sensitive to the chosen representation, and that the behaviour of features such as rain, fog, and ice becomes even more variable when moving to the global scale.
