Assertion (A): Cloud processes must be parametrised rather than resolved in a global climate model.
Reason (R): Individual clouds are far smaller than any practical grid cell.

  • A.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • B.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • C.A is true but R is false
  • D.A is false but R is true

Answer: A

Both are true and the reason gives the necessity, and cloud parametrisation remains the largest source of the spread in climate sensitivity between models. Clouds are far smaller than a grid cell. The scheme chosen strongly affects the answer.
