Short summary
Superparameterization is a multiscale computational method that significantly improves the representation of cloud processes in global atmosphere and climate models. We present a framework for assimilating observational data into superparameterized models to initialize them for forecasts. The framework is demonstrated in the context of a new system of ordinary differential equations that constitutes perhaps the simplest model of superparameterization.
