# Science behind SynSatiPy

Earlier versions of the SynSat interface were utilized for scientific studies with various research targets, for instance to

- assess the realism of cloud characteristics in super high-resolution ICON simulations over Germany (https://doi.org/10.1002/qj.2947)

- investigate SynSat uncertainties in the presence of Cirrus clouds (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.atmosres.2016.08.012)

- characterize quality weather forecasts of deep convective development (https://doi.org/10.1175/MWR-D-16-0480.1)

    ![Rempel et al. (2017)](images/Rempel_Fig1.jpg)

- evaluate simulated deep tropical convection (https://doi.org/10.1175/MWR-D-17-0378.1)

    ![Senf et al. (2018)](images/Senf2018-Fig7.jpg)

- study convective organization over Germany (https://doi.org/10.1002/qj.3552)

    ![Pscheid et al. (2019)](images/Pscheid_Fig1.jpg)

- support development of innovate convection parameterizations (https://doi.org/10.1175/MWR-D-20-0107.1)
