The winter school is an advanced course intended for graduate students and researchers who want to receive
up-to-date knowledge on the observation and modeling of clouds and precipitation, with a specific focus on
Arctic and high-latitude clouds. The course is structured around a combination of lectures and hands-on
experience using data from research-grade radars (US DOE ARM and ACTRIS), in situ sensors and state-ofthe-
art models. The course topics include: cloud and precipitation observations (cloud radars, lidars, solar
and microwave radiometers, in situ sensors), cloud modeling, precipitation formation, boundary layer
modeling.
