Impact of water loading in parcel (3 of 3)

In almost all sensitivity experiments, reducing the vertical depth of convection resulted in improved upper-air forecasts of all fields (esp. winds, heights, temps)
Crudely mimics effects of randomized cloud top (depth) in GFS’ SAS scheme
Including full water loading effects in triggering led to improved performance
