Cloud HAGL Subset

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5439/1905814

File type abbreviation: cldhagl

The cloud height-above-ground-level (HAGL) subset category contains the same variables extracted from the raw wrfout files as the cld subset. The difference is that the cldhagl data are interpolated to levels above ground level as listed in Table 20.
