摘要：
The relationship between relative humidity and low cloud cover produced by a prognostic cloud fraction formulation is compared with observations. From a steady-state version of the prognostic cloud fraction equation, a diagnostic relation for cloud fraction can be derived for subtropical boundary layer clouds. The results are quite realistic when compared with observations illustrating the relevance of the coupling with parameterized convection.
