How does ECMWF or GFS separate in cloud layers their total cloud cover?
-
Hello, I would like to know how ECMWF or GFS separate in their algorithms the three cloud layers (low, medium, and high). I have read the work of Tiedtke (1993) for ECMWF but in GFS case I did not find anything. Thank you for your kind cooperation.
Regards,
Esther S.

For ECMWF model, see here, then click the parameter you are interested in (e.g. High Cloud Cover).

For GFS, High-level is defined as above 440 mb level., low-level is defined
as below 680 mb, and mid-level is in between.
