progcld1 General Algorithm

  • Assgin liquid/ice/rain/snow cloud effective radius from input or predefined values.
  • Compute SFC/low/middle/high cloud top pressure for each cloud domain for given latitude.
  • Compute cloud liquid/ice condensate path in \( g/m^2 \) .
  • Compute effective liquid cloud droplet radius over land.
  • Compute layer cloud fraction.
  • Compute effective ice cloud droplet radius following Heymsfield and McFarquhar (1996) [44].
  • 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. The three cloud domain boundaries are defined by ptopc. The cloud overlapping method is defined by control flag 'iovr', which may be different for lw and sw radiation programs.
