Cloud Overlap Parameterization

Cloud Overlap Parameterization is a modeling framework within atmospheric science that specifies the vertical arrangement of clouds in climate and weather models by characterizing the degree of horizontal overlap between cloud layers at adjacent vertical levels, thereby influencing radiative transfer and cloud fraction calculations.
