                         cloud organization events during the CHUVA Santa Maria. The Meso- 
                         NH model is a non - hydrostatic mesoscale atmospheric model 
                         developed by Laboratoire dAerologie and CNRM (France). Six golden 
                         days were selected to evaluate how the Meso - NH forecast the 
                         cloud field organization. This procedure and results should be 
                         viewed not as an evaluation specific to Meso NH, but a general 
                         methodology to evaluate the different scales in high resolution 
                         models. The Julian days, 327, 333, 335, 338, 339 and 345 were 
                         selected and studied. Model output was transformed into satellite 
                         brightness temperature and radar reflectivity. It will be 
                         presented the size and life cycle duration of cloud systems as 
                         observed for each observation device and the high resolution 
                         model. The results obtained so far open the perspective of an 
                         evaluation taking into account the cloud and rainfall organization 
                         and main scales. They show that cloud distribution as described by 
                         the high resolution model, has a larger population of small scale 
                         clouds than the one observed by satellite and radar. The 
                         perspectives of the use of these results will be discussed.",
