	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...
subroutine, public	get_alpha_exp (nlon, nlay, dzlay, iovrlp, latdeg, juldat, yearlen, cldf, alpha)
	This program derives the exponential transition, alpha, from maximum to random overlap needed to define the fractional cloud vertical correlation for the exponential (EXP, iovrlp=4) or the exponential-random (ER, iovrlp=5) cloud overlap options for RRTMGP. For exponential, the transition from maximum to random with distance through model layers occurs without regard to the configuration of clear and cloudy layers. For the ER method, each block of adjacent cloudy layers is treated with a separate transition from maximum to random, and blocks of cloudy layers separated by one or more clear layers are correlated randomly. /param nlon : number of model longitude points /param nlay : vertical layer dimension /param dzlay(nlon,nlay) : distance between the center of model layers /param iovrlp : cloud overlap method : 0 = random : 1 = maximum-random : 2 = maximum : 3 = decorrelation (NOAA/Hou) : 4 = exponential (AER) : 5 = exponential-random (AER) /param latdeg(nlon) : latitude (in degrees 90 -> -90) /param juldat : day of the year (fractional julian day) /param yearlen : current length of the year (365/366 days) /param cldf(nlon,nlay) : cloud fraction /param idcor : decorrelation length method : 0 = constant value (AER; decorr_con) : 1 = latitude and day of year varying value (AER; Oreopoulos, et al., 2012) /param decorr_con : decorrelation length constant.
