progcld2 General Algorithm

  • Assign water/ice/rain/snow cloud properties for Ferrier scheme.
  • Compute SFC/low/middle/high cloud top pressure for each cloud domain for given latitude.
  • Seperate cloud condensate into liquid, ice, and rain types, and save the liquid+ice condensate in array clw2 for later calculation of cloud fraction.
  • Call module_microphysics::rsipath2(), in Ferrier's scheme, to compute layer's cloud liquid, ice, rain, and snow water condensate path and the partical effective radius for liquid droplet, rain drop, and snow flake.
  • Calculate layer cloud fraction.
  • When lnoprec = .true. snow/rain has no impact on radiation.
  • Calculate effective ice cloud droplet radius following Heymsfield and McFarquhar (1996) [82] .
  • 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.
