@dudhia @smileMchen @weiwangncar Wei, |

@davegill Will try to get some information from the developers. |

@weiwangncar |

@weiwangncar Here are the restart tests (0=pass): Here is the DA builds: |

@dudhia @weiwangncar @smileMchen |

The updated code has passed all Jenkins tests: |

Jimy, Jimy and Ming, |

Is cldovrlp = 5 a namelist option? |
|
@dudhia Yes, it is. You can use it to set all five options for cloud overlapping. For ARW, the default is 2 from registry. |
|
OK, yes, I see now. Could be stated in PR and release notes.

@dudhia Release note updated. This namelist isn't introduced in the PR. It's ben in the code since option 4 was added. |
|
Yes, not one I knew about before.

TYPE: enhancement KEYWORDS: RRTMG, cloud overlap option SOURCE: Mike Iacono, John Henderson, AER DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES: This PR adds a new cloud overlap option for RRTMG, exponential-random (cldovrlp=5). Also added is an optional decorrelation length option - either fixed at 2500 m (idcor=0), or a function of latitude (idcor=1). The decorrelation option works for cloud overlapping option 4 (exponential) too. Tests from one 15 km, east Asian domain in summer, suggests that compared to the default option, maximum-random, this exponential-random produces a slightly cooler atmosphere. For more information, please see this [report](https://dtcenter.org/sites/default/files/visitor-projects/Iacono_Henderson_DTC_VP_FinalReport_2019-2020.pdf).

Tested in a 15 km east Asian domain. 2. The Jenkins tests are all passing. RELEASE NOTE: This PR adds a new cloud overlap option for RRTMG, exponential-random set by namelist cldovrlp=5. A decorrelation length option, idcor, is also added. It is set either fixed at 2500 m (idcor=0), or a function of latitude (idcor=1).

Fig.1 SWDOWN difference at 2 pm local time.

Fig.2 LWDNB difference at 11 pm local time.

Fig. 3. Domain-averaged temp and height differences at 2 pm and 11 pm. The unit for T is K, and m for H.
