progcld4 General Algorithm

  • Assign liquid/ice/rain/snow cloud doplet effective radius as default value.
  • Compute top pressure for each cloud domain for given latitude.
    ptopc(k,i): top presure of each cld domain (k=1-4 are sfc,L,m,h; i=1,2 are low-lat (<45 degree) and pole regions)
  • Compute liquid/ice condensate path in \(g m^{-2}\).
  • Compute effective liquid cloud droplet radius over land.
  • Compute effective ice cloud droplet radius in 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.
