Hi RegCNet,
Could someone point me to a reference that explains where the default value for maximum cloud fraction (cftotmax = 0.75) comes from? Does this cap mean that the cloud fraction output variable (totcf) does not allow for overcast skies? Can this variable be reliably used as input for a lake circulation model?
