<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">We would like to draw your attention to a 2015 AGU Fall Meeting session of interest to users and developers of large-eddy simulation and limited-area models and their use
in real-world configurations to evaluate and improve process understanding and atmospheric model parameterizations. These modeling tools are increasingly important across the atmospheric science community from wind energy applications through climate modeling.</font></div>

<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><b>Session Description:</b> Large-eddy simulations (LES) and high-resolution cloud-resolving models, i.e., limited-area models (LAM), are increasingly used to understand atmospheric
processes with the goal of improving climate and weather model parameterizations. Early approaches used idealized scenarios, but the use of real-world configurations is becoming more common and offers great potential. The jump from idealized to realistic configurations
brings with it many complicating factors and questions regarding how to best use simulations to develop robust parameterizations. Contributions are sought demonstrating novel approaches using real-world LES and LAM simulations for parameterization development
and improving process-level understanding. Also of interest are contributions demonstrating how to overcome difficulties running real-world, ultra-high-resolution configurations, e.g., how best to incorporate observations to constrain the simulation through
data assimilation or other techniques, include surface heterogeneity, initialize the model when clouds are present, evaluate the forcing and simulation accuracies, and increase the odds of successful simulations across a range of meteorological conditions.</font></div>
