Cloud evaluation
Cloud and large-scale precipitation processes are described by prognostic equations for cloud liquid water, cloud ice, rain, snow and a grid box fractional cloud cover. The IFS predicts the three-dimensional cloud field with three variables for each grid box; cloud fraction, cloud liquid water and cloud ice. Cloud processes such as condensation, evaporation, glaciation and precipitation formation in convective and stratiform clouds are all taken into account with physically-based equations.
