Abstract
Intercomparison of general circulation models (GCMs) was carried out. Tendencies of cloudiness fields evolution in the annual cycle have bee n evaluated for the Main Geophysical Observatory (St. Petersburg), Rus sian Hydrometeorological Center (Moscow), Institute of Numerical Mathe matics (Moscow) and Computing Center (Moscow) GCMs in comparison with observational data. Clouds in different layers were considered as well as total cloudiness. Sources of differences were analyzed.
