Description of the upgrade
A number of changes to the physical parametrization scheme were introduced:
- A modification in the treatment of the water vapour absorption in the long-wave part of the radiation scheme;
- A new method of moisture convergence closure;
- A new treatment in the ice fall-out in the cloud scheme.
