  ! "thin" regions of a Tripleclouds representation of a sub-grid PDF
  ! of cloud optical depth. Following Shonk and Hogan (2008), the 16th
  ! percentile is used for the thin region, and the formulas estimate
  ! this for both lognormal and gamma distributions. However, an
  ! adjustment is needed for the gamma distribution at large
  ! fractional standard deviations.
