Short summary
A multivariate probability density function (PDF) can be used to represent the subgrid (below grid-box size) variability of atmospheric fields. The PDF was previously extended to include hydrometeor fields, such as rain water mixing ratio. Now, the PDF of hydrometeor fields is altered to account for precipitating and precipitation-less regions of the subgrid domain. Accounting for these regions allowed the hydrometeor PDF to produce an improved match to results from large-eddy simulations.
