cldprop General Algorithm

• Compute cloud radiative properties for a cloudy column.
• Compute optical properties for rain and snow.
  For rain: tauran/ssaran/asyran
  For snow: tausnw/ssasnw/asysnw
  • Calculation of absorption coefficients due to water clouds
    For water clouds: tauliq/ssaliq/asyliq
  • Calculation of absorption coefficients due to ice clouds
    For ice clouds: tauice/ssaice/asyice
  • For Prognostic cloud scheme: sum up the cloud optical property:
    \( taucw=tauliq+tauice+tauran+tausnw \)
    \( ssacw=ssaliq+ssaice+ssaran+ssasnw \)
    \( asycw=asyliq+asyice+asyran+asysnw \)
• If use fu's formula it needs to be normalized by snow/ice density. not use snow density = 0.1 g/cm**3 = 0.1 g/(mu * m**2)
  use ice density = 0.9167 g/cm**3 = 0.9167 g/(mu * m**2)
  1/0.9167 = 1.09087
  factor 1.5396=8/(3*sqrt(3)) converts reff to generalized ice particle size use newer factor value 1.0315
• Calculation of absorption coefficients due to water clouds.
• Calculation of absorption coefficients due to ice clouds.
• ebert and curry approach for all particle sizes though somewhat unjustified for large ice particles.
• streamer approach for ice effective radius between 5.0 and 131.0 microns.
• fu's approach for ice effective radius between 4.8 and 135 microns (generalized effective size from 5 to 140 microns).
• if isubcsw > 0, call mcica_subcol() to distribute cloud properties to each g-point.
