Mathieu, A., Piriou, J.-M., Haeffelin, M., Drobinski, P., Vinit, F. and Bouyssel, F. (2006). Identification of error sources in convective planetary boundary layer cloud forecasts using SIRTA observations. Geophysical Research Letters 33: doi: 10.1029/2006GL026001. issn: 0094-8276.

In this study, errors in cloud base height predicted by two numerical weather prediction models is evaluated using observations from the French instrumented site SIRTA. Results show that a significant portion of the error is due to errors in predicted surface relative humidity. These errors are in turn thought to be caused by the convection schemes.
