Units in cloud optics extension?

[peterukk]

Hi,

What are the units for cloud ice and liquid water paths, is it g/kg? I would like to do all-sky computations using CAMS data. I noticed that the liquid water path I computed (from mixing ratios in kg/kg) had a maximum value of ~0.2 while the all-sky program fills the array with values of 0 or 10. The units should be written in mo_clouds_optics.F90.

The paths are vertically integrated values over the dp of the grid cell and are treated in g/m2 in the cloud optics.

G/m2, that's what I meant. Great, thanks
