The model utilizes 38 vertical full-sigma levels see below, and is run in
non-hydrostatic mode in order to limit pressure gradient force errors
over the complex terrain. An upper-radiative boundary condition is used
to allow gravity waves to radiate through the model top without being
reflected. The following table describes the phyics options we are
currently using:

Phyics Options:

Physics	Comments
CCM2 Radiation	We changed the effective ice radius as used in radcsw.F from the default 14.6 microns to 35 microns. We are using ICLOUD=1, using resolved clouds.
Reisner 2 Moist Physics	Includes graupel.

Graupel:

Heavily rimed snow particles, often called snow pellets; often indistinguishable from very small soft hail except for the size convention that hail must have a diameter greater than 5 mm.

Sometimes distinguished by shape into conical, hexagonal, and lump (irregular) graupel.
