Abstract. The Cloud Feedback Model Intercomparison Project Observational Simulator Package (COSP) gathers together a collection of
observation proxies or “satellite simulators” that translate model-simulated cloud properties to synthetic observations
as would be obtained by a range of satellite observing systems. This paper
introduces COSP2, an evolution focusing on
more explicit and consistent separation between host model, coupling infrastructure, and individual observing
proxies. Revisions also enhance flexibility by allowing for model-specific
representation of sub-grid-scale cloudiness,
provide greater clarity by clearly separating tasks, support greater use of shared code and data including shared inputs
across simulators, and follow more uniform software standards to simplify implementation across a wide range of
platforms. The complete package including a testing suite is freely available.
