| Description: | This VAP includes a field named "likely_clouds" which, according to the metadata, can
assume the value of 0 (clear) or 1 (likely cloudy). However, this field often contains the
value 3.
Inspection of the code indicates that if there are layers in the atmosphere where the RH
is above 95% and the liquid water path is above 60 g m-2, then the field "likely_clouds"
contains a 1. However, if there are levels where the RH is above 95% and the liquid water
path is below 60 g m-2, then "likely_cloudy" was set to 3 instead of 1. The only time
this field is set to 0 (clear) is if there are no levels in the atmosphere where the RH is
greater than 95%. |
