subroutine	gethml (plyr, ptop1, cldtot, cldcnv, dz, de_lgth, IX, NLAY, clds, mtop, mbot )
	This subroutine computes high, mid, low, total, and boundary cloud fractions and cloud top/bottom layer indices for model diagnostic output. The three cloud domain boundaries are defined by ptopc. The cloud overlapping method is defined by control flag 'iovr', which is also used by LW and SW radiation programs. More...
