The properties of clouds that may be observed by satellite instruments, such as optical thickness and cloud-top pressure, are only loosely related to the way clouds are represented in models of the atmosphere. One way to bridge this gap is through ‘‘instrument simulators,’’ diagnostic tools that map the model representation to synthetic observation...
