                    The atmospheric component of HiGEM has 38 vertical levels with a horizontal 
                    resolution of 1.25 degrees of latitude by 1.65 degrees of longitude, which
                    produces a global grid of 288 x 217 grid cells. This is equivalent to a surface
                    resolution of about 139 km x 184 km at the Equator, reducing to 98 km x 184 km
                    at 45 degrees of latitude (comparable to a spectral resolution of Nblah).
                    The atmospheric timestep period is 20 minutes (72 timesteps per 1 days).

                    <NS_Description> 
                        A general 2-stream radiation code including cloud microphysics.
                        The radiation scheme uses 6 spectral bands in the solar (shortwave) wavelenths 
                        and 9 bands in the terrestrial thermal (longwave) wavelengths. 
                        The radiative effects of CO2 and ozone are explicitly represented as well as oxygen, methane, N2O, CFC-11 and CFC-12.
                        The LW and SW radiative effects of climatological distributions of sulphate, seasalt, soot and biomass aerosols are included.
                        Including cloud area parameterisation produces an Area Cloud Fraction which replaces the bulk value used in the radiation code.
                        Mixed phase clouds containing both ice and water are segregated into separate sub-clouds for radiation calculations.

                        The surface albedo is a function of snow depth and the temperature of the snow over sea ice.
                        The surface hydrology uses the MOSES-II (Met Office Surface Exchange Scheme).
                        The vegetation distribution is fixed.
                        Using coastal tiling allows both land and sea to co-exist in the same gridbox.
                        There are 9 land surface tiles per grid cell.

                        The boundary layer scheme explicitly parameterises the top-of-mixed-layer entrainment.
                        Uses a formulation of the surface exchange coefficients based directly on Monin-Obukhov stability functions.
                        Uses a new subgrid diagnosis of cloud-base height in order to improve the accuracy of the buoyancy flux integral 
                        used to diagnose the depth of mixing in stratocumulus clouds.                                        
                        The scheme splits the radiative heating increments into separate LW and SW contributions.  
                        The boundary layer uses a Richardson number based mixing scheme and orographic roughness fields.
                        The scheme accounts for the radiative coupling and the thermal capacity of the vegetation canopy.

                    <NS_Description>
                        Convection is able to transport momentum in the vertical.
                        The inital convective plume mass flux is determined by a CAPE based clousure scheme.
                        The radiative representation of anvils modifies the convective cloud amount (CCA) to vary with height during deep convection.
                        Excluding precipitation from the water path means that the radiation scheme does not 'see' the convective rain and snow.
                        The accurate treatment of precipitation phase change ensures that precipitation does not change phase if the associated latent
                        cooling would take the temperature below the freezing point again.

                        Orographic gravitity wave scheme including flow blocking.

                        The critical Froude number is 4.00 and determines the proportion of that drag attributed to flow blocking
                        and gravity wave drag respectively.
                        The spectral gravity wave scheme is not used.

                    <NS_Description> The large scale precipitation scheme contains a full microphysical calculation of the cloud phase and 
                        generation of precipitation with water vapour, cloud liquid water and ice particle content as prognostic variables. 
                        Microphysical processes are treated as transfer terms between water vapour, liquid, ice, and rain.
                        In the 3C scheme the fraction of cloud ice content that is pristine ice crystals and snow aggregate particles are treated 
                        seperately in the microphysical transfer terms.     
                        Condensation can occur before grid scale supersaturation and the vapour is condensed to cloud water. 
                        The conversion from vapour to liquid or frozen cloud water is reversible.
                        INCLUDING RHcrit parametrization causes the cloud scheme to use 3D diagnosed critical relative humidity.
                        INCLUDING cloud area parametrization produces an Area Cloud Fraction which replaces the Bulk value in much of the radiation code.
