Developing a Cloud Scheme With Prognostic Cloud Fraction and Two Moment Microphysics for ECHAM‐HAM

Abstract We present a new cloud scheme for the ECHAM‐HAM global climate model (GCM) that includes prognostic cloud fraction and allows for subsaturation and supersaturation with respect to ice separately in the cloud‐free and cloudy air. Stratiform clouds form by convective detrainment, turbulent ve...
