  ! The intention is that all variables describing clouds and
  ! radiatively-active precipitation are contained in this derived
  ! type, and if cloud variables are to be added in future, they can
  ! be added to this type without requiring extra variables to be
  ! passed between subroutines elsewhere in the program.
  type cloud_type
    ! For maximum flexibility, an arbitrary number "ntype" of
    ! hydrometeor types can be stored, dimensioned (ncol,nlev,ntype)
    integer                                   :: ntype = 0
    real(jprb), allocatable, dimension(:,:,:) :: &
         &  mixing_ratio, &  ! mass mixing ratio (kg/kg)
         &  effective_radius ! (m)

    ! For backwards compatibility, we also allow for the two
    ! traditional cloud types, liquid cloud droplets and ice cloud
    ! particles, dimensioned (ncol,nlev)
    real(jprb), pointer, dimension(:,:) :: &
         &  q_liq,  q_ice,  & ! mass mixing ratio (kg/kg)
         &  re_liq, re_ice    ! effective radius (m)

    ! For the moment, the different types of hydrometeor are assumed
    ! to be mixed with each other, so there is just one cloud fraction
    ! variable varying from 0 to 1
    real(jprb), allocatable, dimension(:,:) :: fraction

    ! The fractional standard deviation of cloud optical depth in the
    ! cloudy part of the gridbox.  In the Tripleclouds representation
    ! of cloud inhomogeneity, this is implemented by splitting the
    ! cloudy part of the gridbox into two equal-area regions, one
    ! with the cloud optical depth scaled by 1+fractional_std and the
    ! other scaled by 1-fractional_std. This variable is dimensioned
    ! (ncol,nlev)
    real(jprb), allocatable, dimension(:,:) :: fractional_std

    ! The inverse of the effective horizontal size of the clouds in
    ! the gridbox, used to compute the cloud edge length per unit
    ! gridbox area for use in representing 3D effects. This variable
    ! is dimensioned (ncol,nlev).
    real(jprb), allocatable, dimension(:,:) :: inv_cloud_effective_size ! m-1

    ! Similarly for the in-cloud heterogeneities, used to compute the
    ! edge length between the optically thin and thick cloudy regions
    ! of the gridbox.
    real(jprb), allocatable, dimension(:,:) :: inv_inhom_effective_size ! m-1

    ! The following variable describes the overlap of cloud boundaries
    ! in adjacent layers, with dimensions (ncol,nlev-1): 1 corresponds
    ! to maximum overlap and 0 to random overlap. Depending on the
    ! ecRad configuration, it may be the "alpha" overlap parameter of
    ! Hogan and Illingworth (2000) or the "beta" overlap parameter of
    ! Shonk et al. (2010).
