Large Scale Condensation and Precipitation

The lscale_cond_nml only ever needs to be specified if convection_scheme in idealized_moist_phys_nml is either SIMPLE_BETTS_CONV, FULL_BETTS_MILLER_CONV or RAS_CONV. This namelist is described on Isca's website and is used in the Frierson example script.
All the options are also described below:

Options

hc

float
The relative humidity at which large scale condensation occurs.
\(0.0 \leq hc \leq 1.0\).
Default: 1.0

do_evap

bool
The flag for the re-evaporation of moisture in sub-saturated layers below, if True then re-evaporation is performed.
Default: False

do_simple

bool
If True then all precipitation is rain/liquid precipitation, there is no snow/frozen precipitation.
Default: False
