progclduni General Algorithm

  1. Compute cloud liquid/ice condensate path in \( g/m^2 \) .
  2. Compute effective liquid cloud droplet radius over land.
  3. Compute effective ice cloud droplet radius following Heymsfield and McFarquhar (1996) [82].
  4. Find top pressure for each cloud domain for given latitude.
  5. Estimate clouds decorrelation length in km
  • Call gethml() to compute low,mid,high,total, and boundary layer cloud fractions and clouds top/bottom layer indices for low, mid, and high clouds.
