Clouds parameters: BL clouds pct / small cu base / BL overcast / CAPE / precipitation   /  Wind parameters  /  thermal parameters  /  sfc parameters Quick help: This height estimates the cloudbase for small, non-extensive "puffy" cumulus in the BL only at locations (coloured areas on BLIPMAP charts) where this cumulus formation is probable. Where these small clouds are not probable the areas remain grey. Nevertheless cumulus can even occur on grey areas over a small-scale ridge not resolved by the model's smoothed topography. If the overcast development potential blipmaps forecast probable overcast BL, you should expect the cloud base (much) lower than predicted here. Aide rapide: Il s'agit ici de prvoir seulement la base des petits cumulus dans la couche convective (CC). La couleur correspond l'altitude de la base. Si une ou l'autre plage du domaine reste grise, les petits cumulus y sont peu probables mais pas impossibles. Si la carte de surdveloppement nuageux dans la CC prvoit un tel dveloppement, la base des nuages sera (beaucoup) plus basse que prvue ici !!!
