Knowledge of cloud properties and their vertical structure is important for meteorological studies due to their impact on both the Earth's radiation budget and adiabatic heating within the atmosphere. Cloud properties in the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Centers for Environmental Prediction Global Forecast System (GFS) include (i) cloud liquid/ice water path; (ii) the fraction of clouds; (iii) effective radius of water/ice droplet:
Cloud overlapping method (namelist control parameter - IOVR) 
 IOVR=0: randomly overlapping vertical cloud layers 
 IOVR=1: maximum-random overlapping vertical cloud layers 
 IOVR=2: maximum overlapping vertical cloud layers 
 IOVR=3: decorrelation length overlapping vertical cloud layers 
 IOVR=4: exponential overlapping vertical cloud layers 
 IOVR=5: exponential-random overlapping vertical cloud layers
Sub-grid cloud approximation (namelist control parameter - ISUBC_LW=2, ISUBC_SW=2) 
 ISUBC=0: grid averaged quantities, without sub-grid cloud approximation 
 ISUBC=1: with McICA sub-grid approximation (use prescribed permutation seeds) 
 ISUBC=2: with McICA sub-grid approximation (use random permutation seeds)
