Detailed Description

Subroutine that computes precipitable water.

 This routine computes precipitable water in a column
 extending from the first atmospheric ETA layer to the
 model top. The definition used is
                      TOP
 precipitable water = sum (Q+CLDW) DP*HTM/G
                      BOT
 where,
 BOT is the first ETA layer,
 TOP is the model top,
 Q is the specific humidity (kg/kg) in the layer
 CLDW is the cloud water (kg/kg) in the layer
 DP (Pa) is the layer thickness.
 HTM is the height mask at that layer (=0 if below ground)
 G is the gravitational constant.

Parameters

[in]

PW

Array of precipitable water.
