Summary:The model has several unique features: 1 surface heterogeneity and boundary layer turbulence is represented using the boundary layer JPDF of virtual potential temperature versus water-vapor mixing ratio; 2 clear and cloudy thermals are allowed to coexist at the same altitude; and 3 a range of cloud-base heights, cloud-top heights, and cloud thicknesses are predicted within any one cloud field, as observed.
