"""Return the cloud fraction for low, mid, and high level clouds.
The leftmost dimension of the returned array represents three different
quantities:
- return_val[0,...] will contain LOW level cloud fraction
- return_val[1,...] will contain MID level cloud fraction
- return_val[2,...] will contain HIGH level cloud fraction
If the vertical coordinate type is 'height_agl' or 'height_msl', the
default cloud levels are defined as:
300 m <= low_cloud < 2000 m
2000 m <= mid_cloud < 6000 m
6000 m <= high_cloud
For 'pressure', the default cloud levels are defined as:
97000 Pa <= low_cloud < 80000 Pa
80000 Pa <= mid_cloud < 45000 Pa
45000 Pa <= high_cloud
Note that the default low cloud levels are chosen to
exclude clouds near the surface (fog). If you want fog included, set
*low_thresh* to ~99500 Pa if *vert_type* is set to 'pressure', or 15 m if
using 'height_msl' or 'height_agl'. Keep in mind that the lowest mass grid
points are slightly above the ground, and in order to find clouds, the
*low_thresh* needs to be set to values that are slightly greater than
(less than) the lowest height (pressure) values.
When using 'pressure' or 'height_agl' for *vert_type*, there is a
possibility that the lowest WRF level will be higher than the low_cloud or
mid_cloud threshold, particularly for mountainous regions. When this
happens, a fill value will be used in the output.
This functions extracts the necessary variables from the NetCDF file
object in order to perform the calculation.
Args:
wrfin (:class:`netCDF4.Dataset`, :class:`Nio.NioFile`, or an \
iterable): WRF-ARW NetCDF
data as a :class:`netCDF4.Dataset`, :class:`Nio.NioFile`
or an iterable sequence of the aforementioned types.
timeidx (:obj:`int` or :data:`wrf.ALL_TIMES`, optional): The
desired time index. This value can be a positive integer,
negative integer, or
:data:`wrf.ALL_TIMES` (an alias for None) to return
all times in the file or sequence. The default is 0.
method (:obj:`str`, optional): The aggregation method to use for
sequences. Must be either 'cat' or 'join'.
'cat' combines the data along the Time dimension.
'join' creates a new dimension for the file index.
The default is 'cat'.
squeeze (:obj:`bool`, optional): Set to False to prevent dimensions
with a size of 1 from being automatically removed from the shape
of the output. Default is True.
cache (:obj:`dict`, optional): A dictionary of (varname, ndarray)
that can be used to supply pre-extracted NetCDF variables to the
computational routines. It is primarily used for internal
purposes, but can also be used to improve performance by
eliminating the need to repeatedly extract the same variables
used in multiple diagnostics calculations, particularly when using
large sequences of files.
Default is None.
meta (:obj:`bool`, optional): Set to False to disable metadata and
return :class:`numpy.ndarray` instead of
:class:`xarray.DataArray`. Default is True.
_key (:obj:`int`, optional): A caching key. This is used for internal
purposes only. Default is None.
vert_type (:obj:`str`, optional): The type of vertical coordinate used
to determine cloud type thresholds. Must be 'height_agl',
'height_msl', or 'pres'. The default is 'height_agl'.
low_thresh (:obj:`float`, optional): The lower bound for what is
considered a low cloud. If *vert_type* is 'pres', the default is
97000 Pa. If *vert_type* is 'height_agl' or 'height_msl', then the
default is 300 m.
mid_thresh (:obj:`float`, optional): The lower bound for what is
considered a mid level cloud. If *vert_type* is 'pres', the
default is 80000 Pa. If *vert_type* is 'height_agl' or
'height_msl', then the default is 2000 m.
high_thresh (:obj:`float`, optional): The lower bound for what is
considered a high level cloud. If *vert_type* is 'pres', the
default is 45000 Pa. If *vert_type* is 'height_agl' or
'height_msl', then the default is 6000 m.
Returns:
:class:`xarray.DataArray` or :class:`numpy.ndarray`: The
cloud fraction array whose leftmost dimension is 3 (LOW=0, MID=1,
HIGH=2).
If xarray is enabled and the *meta* parameter is True, then the result
will be a :class:`xarray.DataArray` object. Otherwise, the result will
be a :class:`numpy.ndarray` object with no metadata.

mid_cloud threshold, particularly for mountainous regions. When this
happens, a fill value will be used in the output.
This functions extracts the necessary variables from the NetCDF file
object in order to perform the calculation.
Args:
wrfin (:class:`netCDF4.Dataset`, :class:`Nio.NioFile`, or an \
iterable): WRF-ARW NetCDF
data as a :class:`netCDF4.Dataset`, :class:`Nio.NioFile`
or an iterable sequence of the aforementioned types.
timeidx (:obj:`int` or :data:`wrf.ALL_TIMES`, optional): The
desired time index. This value can be a positive integer,
negative integer, or
:data:`wrf.ALL_TIMES` (an alias for None) to return
all times in the file or sequence. The default is 0.
method (:obj:`str`, optional): The aggregation method to use for
sequences. Must be either 'cat' or 'join'.
'cat' combines the data along the Time dimension.
'join' creates a new dimension for the file index.
The default is 'cat'.
squeeze (:obj:`bool`, optional): Set to False to prevent dimensions
with a size of 1 from being automatically removed from the shape
of the output. Default is True.
cache (:obj:`dict`, optional): A dictionary of (varname, ndarray)
that can be used to supply pre-extracted NetCDF variables to the
computational routines. It is primarily used for internal
purposes, but can also be used to improve performance by
eliminating the need to repeatedly extract the same variables
used in multiple diagnostics calculations, particularly when using
large sequences of files.
Default is None.
meta (:obj:`bool`, optional): Set to False to disable metadata and
return :class:`numpy.ndarray` instead of
:class:`xarray.DataArray`. Default is True.
_key (:obj:`int`, optional): A caching key. This is used for internal
purposes only. Default is None.
vert_type (:obj:`str`, optional): The type of vertical coordinate used
to determine cloud type thresholds. Must be 'height_agl',
'height_msl', or 'pres'. The default is 'height_agl'.
low_thresh (:obj:`float`, optional): The lower bound for what is
considered a low cloud. If *vert_type* is 'pres', the default is
97000 Pa. If *vert_type* is 'height_agl' or 'height_msl', then the
default is 300 m.
mid_thresh (:obj:`float`, optional): The lower bound for what is
considered a mid level cloud. If *vert_type* is 'pres', the
default is 80000 Pa. If *vert_type* is 'height_agl' or
'height_msl', then the default is 2000 m.
high_thresh (:obj:`float`, optional): The lower bound for what is
considered a high level cloud. If *vert_type* is 'pres', the
default is 45000 Pa. If *vert_type* is 'height_agl' or
'height_msl', then the default is 6000 m.
Returns:
:class:`xarray.DataArray` or :class:`numpy.ndarray`: The
cloud fraction array for high level clouds.
If xarray is enabled and the *meta* parameter is True, then the result
will be a :class:`xarray.DataArray` object. Otherwise, the result will
be a :class:`numpy.ndarray` object with no metadata.
