  IMPLICIT NONE

  ! NOTE:   the maximum number of levels and columns is set by
  ! the following parameter statement

  INTEGER ncolprint

  ! -----
  ! Input
  ! -----

  INTEGER npoints !  number of model points in the horizontal
  ! PARAMETER(npoints=6722)
  INTEGER nlev !  number of model levels in column
  INTEGER ncol !  number of subcolumns

  INTEGER sunlit(npoints) !  1 for day points, 0 for night time

  INTEGER seed(npoints) !  seed value for random number generator
  ! !  ( see Numerical Recipes Chapter 7)
  ! !  It is recommended that the seed is set
  ! !  to a different value for each model
  ! !  gridbox it is called on, as it is
  ! !  possible that the choice of the samec
  ! !  seed value every time may introduce some
  ! !  statistical bias in the results, particularly
  ! !  for low values of NCOL.

  REAL pfull(npoints, nlev) !  pressure of full model levels (Pascals)
  ! !  pfull(npoints,1)    is    top level of model
  ! !  pfull(npoints,nlev) is bottom level of model

  REAL phalf(npoints, nlev+1) !  pressure of half model levels (Pascals)
  ! !  phalf(npoints,1)    is    top       of model
  ! !  phalf(npoints,nlev+1) is the surface pressure

  REAL qv(npoints, nlev) !  water vapor specific humidity (kg vapor/ kg air)
  ! !         on full model levels

  REAL cc(npoints, nlev) !  input cloud cover in each model level (fraction)
  ! !  NOTE:  This is the HORIZONTAL area of each
  ! !         grid box covered by clouds

  REAL conv(npoints, nlev) !  input convective cloud cover in each model level (fraction)
  ! !  NOTE:  This is the HORIZONTAL area of each
  ! !         grid box covered by convective clouds

  REAL dtau_s(npoints, nlev) !  mean 0.67 micron optical depth of stratiform
  ! !  clouds in each model level
  ! !  NOTE:  this the cloud optical depth of only the
  ! !         cloudy part of the grid box, it is not weighted
  ! !         with the 0 cloud optical depth of the clear
  ! !         part of the grid box

  REAL dtau_c(npoints, nlev) !  mean 0.67 micron optical depth of convective
  ! !  clouds in each
  ! !  model level.  Same note applies as in dtau_s.

  INTEGER overlap !  overlap type

  ! 1=max

  ! 2=rand
  ! 3=max/rand

  INTEGER top_height !  1 = adjust top height using both a computed
  ! !  infrared brightness temperature and the visible
  ! !  optical depth to adjust cloud top pressure. Note
  ! !  that this calculation is most appropriate to compare
  ! !  to ISCCP data during sunlit hours.
  ! !  2 = do not adjust top height, that is cloud top
  ! !  pressure is the actual cloud top pressure
  ! !  in the model
  ! !  3 = adjust top height using only the computed
  ! !  infrared brightness temperature. Note that this
  ! !  calculation is most appropriate to compare to ISCCP
  ! !  IR only algortihm (i.e. you can compare to nighttime
  ! !  ISCCP data with this option)

  REAL tautab(0:255) !  ISCCP table for converting count value to
  ! !  optical thickness

  INTEGER invtau(-20:45000) !  ISCCP table for converting optical thickness
  ! !  to count value

  ! The following input variables are used only if top_height = 1 or
  ! top_height = 3

  REAL skt(npoints) !  skin Temperature (K)
  REAL emsfc_lw !  10.5 micron emissivity of surface (fraction)
  REAL at(npoints, nlev) !  temperature in each model level (K)
  REAL dem_s(npoints, nlev) !  10.5 micron longwave emissivity of stratiform

  ! !  model level.  Same note applies as in dtau_s.
