       ! Define a release level, 'prel' and release layer, 'krel'.          !
       ! 'prel' is the lowest level from which buoyancy sorting occurs, and !
       ! 'krel' is the layer index containing 'prel' in it, similar to  the !
       ! previous definitions of 'kinv', 'klcl', and 'klfc'.    In order to !
       ! ensure that only PBL scheme works within the PBL,  if LCL is below !
       ! PBL top height, then 'krel = kinv', while if LCL is above  PBL top !
       ! height, then 'krel = klcl'.   Note however that regardless of  the !
       ! definition of 'krel', cumulus convection induces fluxes within PBL !
       ! through 'fluxbelowinv'.  We can make cumulus convection start from !
       ! any level, even within the PBL by appropriately defining 'krel'  & !
       ! 'prel' here. Then it must be accompanied by appropriate definition !
       ! of source air properties, CIN, and re-setting of 'fluxbelowinv', & !
       ! many other stuffs.                                                 !
       ! Probably the simplest way to adjust 'prel' and 'krel' is to adjust !
       ! 'kinv' because calculation of CIN is based on 'kinv'.              !
       ! Note that even when 'prel' is located above the PBL top height, we !
       ! still have cumulus convection between PBL top height and 'prel':   !
       ! we simply assume that no lateral mixing occurs in this range.      !

       ! Calculate cumulus base mass flux ('cbmf'), fractional area ('ufrcinv'), and !
       ! and mean vertical velocity (winv) of cumulus updraft at PBL top interface.  !
       ! Also, calculate updraft fractional area (ufrclcl) and vertical velocity  at !
       ! the LCL (wlcl). When LCL is below PBLH, cinlcl = 0 and 'ufrclcl = ufrcinv', !
       ! and 'wlcl = winv.                                                           !
       ! Only updrafts strong enough to overcome CIN can rise over PBL top interface.! 
       ! Thus,  in order to calculate cumulus mass flux at PBL top interface, 'cbmf',!
       ! we need to know 'CIN' ( the strength of potential energy barrier ) and      !
       ! 'sigmaw' ( a standard deviation of updraft vertical velocity at the PBL top !
       ! interface, a measure of turbulentce strength in the PBL ).   Naturally, the !
       ! ratio of these two variables, 'mu' - normalized CIN by TKE- is key variable !
       ! controlling 'cbmf'.  If 'mu' becomes large, only small fraction of updrafts !
       ! with very strong TKE can rise over the PBL - both 'cbmf' and 'ufrc' becomes !
       ! small, but 'winv' becomes large ( this can be easily understood by PDF of w !
       ! at PBL top ).  If 'mu' becomes small, lots of updraft can rise over the PBL !
       ! top - both 'cbmf' and 'ufrc' becomes large, but 'winv' becomes small. Thus, !
       ! all of the key variables associated with cumulus convection  at the PBL top !
       ! - 'cbmf', 'ufrc', 'winv' where 'cbmf = rho*ufrc*winv' - are a unique functi !
       ! ons of 'mu', normalized CIN. Although these are uniquely determined by 'mu',! 
       ! we usually impose two comstraints on 'cbmf' and 'ufrc': (1) because we will !
       ! simply assume that subsidence warming and drying of 'kinv-1' layer in assoc !
       ! iation with 'cbmf' at PBL top interface is confined only in 'kinv-1' layer, !
       ! cbmf must not be larger than the mass within the 'kinv-1' layer. Otherwise, !
       ! instability will occur due to the breaking of CBS condition. If we consider !
       ! semi-Lagrangian vertical advection scheme and explicitly consider the exten !
       ! t of vertical movement of each layer in association with cumulus mass flux, !
       ! we don't need to impose this constraint. However,  using a  semi-Lagrangian !
       ! scheme is a future research subject. Note that this constraint should be ap !
       ! plied for all interfaces above PBL top as well as PBL top interface.   As a !
       ! result, this 'cbmf' constraint impose a 'lower' limit on mu - 'mumin0'. (2) !
       ! in order for mass flux parameterization - rho*(w'a')= M*(a_c-a_e) - to   be !
       ! valid, cumulus updraft fractional area should be much smaller than 1.    In !
       ! current code, we impose 'rmaxfrac = 0.1 ~ 0.2'   through the whole vertical !
       ! layers where cumulus convection occurs. At the PBL top interface,  the same !
       ! constraint is made by imposing another lower 'lower' limit on mu, 'mumin1'. !
       ! After that, also limit 'ufrclcl' to be smaller than 'rmaxfrac' by 'mumin2'. !

       ! a parameter sentence), and 'ufrc' at the LCL - 'ufrclcl' ( by 'mumin2').    !
       ! Note that 'cbmf' does not change between PBL top and LCL  because we assume !
       ! that buoyancy sorting does not occur when cumulus updraft is unsaturated.   !

       ! In case of premitive code, cumulus scale height ('cush')  at the current !
       ! time step was assumed to be the same as 'cush' of previous time step.    !
       ! However, I directly calculated cush at each time step using an iterative !
       ! method. Note that within the cumulus scheme, 'cush' information is  used !
       ! only at two places during buoyancy-sorting process:                      !
       ! (1) Even negatively buoyancy mixtures with strong vertical velocity      !
       !     enough to rise up to 'rle*scaleh' (rle = 0.1) from pe are entrained  !

       ! layer thickness. In future, we will use rei(k) = (0.5*rkm/z0(k)/rho/g).  !

       ! Initialization of 'kbup' and 'kpen'                              !
       ! ---------------------------------------------------------------- !
       ! 'kbup' is the top-most layer in which cloud buoyancy is positive !
       ! both at the top and bottom interface of the layer. 'kpen' is the !
       ! layer upto which cumulus panetrates ,i.e., cumulus w at the base !
       ! interface is positive, but becomes negative at the top interface.!
       ! Here, we initialize 'kbup' and 'kpen'. These initializations are !  
       ! not trivial but important, expecially   in calculating turbulent !
       ! fluxes without confliction among several physics as explained in !
       ! detail in the part of turbulent fluxes calculation later.   Note !
       ! that regardless of whether 'kbup' and 'kpen' are updated or  not !
       ! during updraft motion,  penetrative entrainments are dumped down !
       ! across the top interface of 'kbup' later.      More specifically,!
       ! penetrative entrainment heat and moisture fluxes are  calculated !
       ! from the top interface of 'kbup' layer  to the base interface of !
       ! 'kpen' layer. Because of this, initialization of 'kbup' & 'kpen' !
       ! influence the convection system when there are not updated.  The !  
       ! below initialization of 'kbup = krel' assures  that  penetrative !
       ! entrainment fluxes always occur at interfaces above the PBL  top !
       ! interfaces (i.e., only at interfaces k >=kinv ), which seems  to !
       ! be attractable considering that the most correct fluxes  at  the !
       ! PBL top interface can be ontained from the 'fluxbelowinv'  using !
       ! reconstructed PBL height.                                        ! 
       ! The 'kbup = krel'(after going through the whole buoyancy sorting !
       ! proces during updraft motion) implies that cumulus updraft  from !
       ! the PBL top interface can not reach to the LFC,so that 'kbup' is !
       ! not updated during upward. This means that cumulus updraft   did !
       ! not fully overcome the buoyancy barrier above just the PBL top.  !
       ! If 'kpen' is not updated either ( i.e., cumulus cannot rise over !
       ! the top interface of release layer),penetrative entrainment will !
       ! not happen at any interfaces.  If cumulus updraft can rise above !
       ! the release layer but cannot fully overcome the buoyancy barrier !
       ! just above PBL top interface, penetratve entrainment   occurs at !
       ! several above interfaces, including the top interface of release ! 
       ! layer. In the latter case, warming and drying tendencies will be !
       ! be initiated in 'krel' layer. Note current choice of 'kbup=krel' !
       ! is completely compatible with other flux physics without  double !
       ! or miss counting turbulent fluxes at any interface. However, the !
       ! alternative choice of 'kbup=krel-1' also has itw own advantage - !
       ! when cumulus updraft cannot overcome buoyancy barrier just above !
       ! PBL top, entrainment warming and drying are concentrated in  the !
       ! 'kinv-1' layer instead of 'kinv' layer for this case. This might !
       ! seems to be more dynamically reasonable, but I will choose the   !
       ! 'kbup = krel' choice since it is more compatible  with the other !
       ! parts of the code, expecially, when we chose ' use_emf=.false. ' !
       ! as explained in detail in turbulent flux calculation part.       !

          ! is not fully consistent with the vertical variation of updraft vertical w.  !
          ! For example, within a given layer, let's assume that  cumulus w is positive !

          ! cumulus updraft cannot reach to the top interface of the layer. However,    !

          ! vertical tendency equation of cumulus mass flux.   Ideally, cumulus updraft ! 
          ! mass flux at the top interface should be zero for this case. In order to    !
          ! assures that cumulus updraft mass flux goes to zero when cumulus updraft    ! 
          ! vertical velocity goes to zero, we are imposing self-detrainment term as    !
          ! below by considering layer-mean cloud buoyancy and cumulus updraft vertical !

       ! or logical problems, because we have already computed all  the variables !
       ! necessary for performing below penetrative entrainment block.            !
       ! In the below 'do' loop, 'k' is an interface index at which non-zero 'emf'! 
       ! (penetrative entrainment mass flux) is calculated. Since cumulus updraft !
       ! is negatively buoyant in the layers between the top interface of 'kbup'  !
       ! layer (interface index, kbup) and the top interface of 'kpen' layer, the !
       ! fractional lateral entrainment, fer(k) within these layers will be close !
       ! to zero - so it is likely that only strong lateral detrainment occurs in !
       ! thses layers. Under this situation,we can easily calculate the amount of !
       ! detrainment cumulus air into these negatively buoyanct layers by  simply !
       ! comparing cumulus updraft mass fluxes between the base and top interface !
       ! of each layer: emf(k) = emf(k-1)*exp(-fdr(k)*dp0(k))                     !
       !                       ~ emf(k-1)*(1-rei(k)*dp0(k))                       !

       ! Current code assumes that about 'rpen~10' times of these detrained  mass !
       ! are penetratively re-entrained down into the 'k-1' interface. And all of !
       ! these detrained masses are finally dumped down into the top interface of !
       ! 'kbup' layer. Thus, the amount of penetratively entrained air across the !
       ! top interface of 'kbup' layer with 'rpen~10' becomes too large.          !
       ! Note that this penetrative entrainment part can be completely turned-off !

          ! In this GCM modeling framework,  all what we should do is to calculate  heat !
          ! and moisture fluxes at the given geometrically-fixed height interfaces -  we !
          ! don't need to worry about movement of material height surface in association !
          ! with compensating subsidence or unwelling, in contrast to the bulk modeling. !
          ! In this geometrically fixed height coordinate system, heat and moisture flux !
          ! at the geometrically fixed height handle everything - a movement of material !
          ! surface is implicitly treated automatically. Note that in terms of turbulent !
          ! heat and moisture fluxes at model interfaces, both the cumulus updraft  mass !
          ! flux and penetratively entraining mass flux play the same role -both of them ! 
          ! warms and dries the 'kbup' layer, cools and moistens the 'kpen' layer,   and !
          ! cools and moistens any intervening layers between 'kbup' and 'kpen' layers.  !
          ! It is important to note these identical roles on turbulent heat and moisture !
          ! fluxes of 'umf' and 'emf'.                                                   !
          ! When 'kbup' is a stratocumulus-topped PBL top interface,  increase of 'rpen' !
          ! is likely to strongly diffuse stratocumulus top interface,  resulting in the !
          ! reduction of cloud fraction. In this sense, the 'kbup' interface has a  very !
          ! important meaning and role : across the 'kbup' interface, strong penetrative !
          ! entrainment occurs, thus any sharp gradient properties across that interface !
          ! are easily diffused through strong mass exchange. Thus, an initialization of ! 
          ! 'kbup' (and also 'kpen') should be done very cautiously as mentioned before. ! 
          ! In order to prevent this stron diffusion for the shallow cumulus convection  !
          ! based at the Sc top, it seems to be good to initialize 'kbup = krel', rather !
          ! that 'kbup = krel-1'.                                                        !

       !     the reconstructed PBLs are independently calculated for  each !

       !     each 'fluxbelowinv',  instead of being uniquely calculated by !
       !     using thvl. Turbulent flux at the surface is assumed to be 0. !
       ! (2) " kinv <= k <= krel - 1 " : Non-buoyancy sorting fluxes       !
       !     Assuming cumulus mass flux  and cumulus updraft thermodynamic !
       !     properties (except u, v which are modified by the PGFc during !
       !     upward motion) are conserved during a updraft motion from the !
       !     PBL top interface to the release level. If these layers don't !
       !     exist (e,g, when 'krel = kinv'), then  current routine do not !
       !     perform this routine automatically. So I don't need to modify !
       !     anything.                                                     !

       ! In case of normal situation, turbulent interfaces  in each groups !
       ! are mutually independent of each other. Thus double flux counting !
       ! or ambiguous flux counting requiring the choice among the above 4 !
       ! groups do not occur normally. However, in case that cumulus plume !
       ! could not completely overcome the buoyancy barrier just above the !
       ! PBL top interface and so 'kbup = krel' (.shallowCu=.true.) ( here,!
       ! it can be either 'kpen = krel' as the initialization, or ' kpen > !
       ! krel' if cumulus updraft just penetrated over the top of  release !
       ! layer ). If this happens, we should be very careful in organizing !
       ! the sequence of the 4 calculation routines above -  note that the !
       ! routine located at the later has the higher priority.  Additional ! 
       ! feature I must consider is that when 'kbup = kinv - 1' (this is a !
       ! combined situation of 'kbup=krel-1' & 'krel = kinv' when I  chose !
       ! 'kbup=krel-1' instead of current choice of 'kbup=krel'), a strong !
       ! penetrative entrainment fluxes exists at the PBL top interface, & !
       ! all of these fluxes are concentrated (deposited) within the layer ! 
       ! just below PBL top interface (i.e., 'kinv-1' layer). On the other !
       ! hand, in case of 'fluxbelowinv', only the compensating subsidence !
       ! effect is concentrated in the 'kinv-1' layer and 'pure' turbulent !
       ! heat and moisture fluxes ( 'pure' means the fluxes not associated !
       ! with compensating subsidence) are linearly distributed throughout !
       ! the whole PBL. Thus different choice of the above flux groups can !
       ! produce very different results. Output variable should be written !
       ! consistently to the choice of computation sequences.              !
       ! When the case of 'kbup = krel(-1)' happens,another way to dealing !
       ! with this case is to simply ' exit ' the whole cumulus convection !
       ! calculation without performing any cumulus convection.     We can !
       ! choose this approach by specifying a condition in the  'Filtering !
       ! of unreasonable cumulus adjustment' just after 'iter_scaleh'. But !
       ! this seems not to be a good choice (although this choice was used !
       ! previous code ), since it might arbitrary damped-out  the shallow !
       ! cumulus convection over the continent land, where shallow cumulus !

       ! 4. Penetrative entrainment fluxes : kbup <= k <= kpen - 1                 !
       !    The only confliction that can happen is when 'kbup = kinv-1'. For this !
       !    case, turbulent flux at kinv-1 is calculated  both from 'fluxbelowinv' !
       !    and here as penetrative entrainment fluxes.  Since penetrative flux is !
       !    calculated later, flux at 'kinv - 1 ' will be that of penetrative flux.!
       !    However, turbulent flux calculated at 'kinv - 1' from penetrative entr.!
       !    is less attractable,  since more reasonable turbulent flux at 'kinv-1' !
       !    should be obtained from 'fluxbelowinv', by considering  re-constructed ! 
       !    inversion base height. This conflicting problem can be solved if we can!
       !    initialize 'kbup = krel', instead of kbup = krel - 1. This choice seems!
       !    to be more reasonable since it is not conflicted with 'fluxbelowinv' in!
       !    calculating fluxes at 'kinv - 1' ( for this case, flux at 'kinv-1' is  !
       !    always from 'fluxbelowinv' ), and flux at 'krel-1' is calculated from  !
       !    the non-buoyancy sorting flux without being competed with penetrative  !
       !    entrainment fluxes. Even when we use normal cumulus flux instead of    !
       !    penetrative entrainment fluxes at 'kbup <= k <= kpen-1' interfaces,    !
       !    the initialization of kbup=krel perfectly works without any conceptual !
       !    confliction. Thus it seems to be much better to choose 'kbup = krel'   !
       !    initialization of 'kbup', which is current choice.                     !
       !    Note that below formula uses conventional updraft cumulus fluxes for   !
       !    shallow cumulus which did not overcome the first buoyancy barrier above!
       !    PBL top while uses penetrative entrainment fluxes for the other cases  !
       !    'kbup <= k <= kpen-1' interfaces. Depending on cases, however, I can   !

          !    of each layer. Note that in addition to this expel process ('source' term), !
          !    cumulus updraft can modify layer mean condensate through normal detrainment !
          !    forcing or compensating subsidence.                                         !
          ! 2. Expelled water can be either 'sustaining' or 'precipitating' condensate. By !
          !    definition, 'suataining condensate' will remain in the layer where it was   !
          !    formed, while 'precipitating condensate' will fall across the base of the   !

          !    ground as soon as it was formed without being evaporated during the falling !
          !    process down to the desinated layer ( either release layer of surface ).    !

       ! equation in each layer, since this effect will be separately added later in !
       ! in 'stratiform_tend' just after performing sediment process there. In order !
       ! to be consistent with 'stratiform_tend', just subtract qc(k)  from tendency !
       ! equation of each layer, but do not add it to the 'precip'. Apprently,  this !
       ! will violate energy and moisture conservations.    However, when performing !
       ! conservation check in 'tphysbc.F90' just after 'convect_shallow_tend',   we !
       ! will add 'qc(k)' ( rliq ) to the surface flux term just for the purpose  of !
       ! passing the energy-moisture conservation check. Explicit adding-back of 'qc'!
       ! to the individual layer tendency equation will be done in 'stratiform_tend' !
       ! after performing sediment process there. Simply speaking, in 'tphysbc' just !
       ! after 'convect_shallow_tend', we will dump 'rliq' into surface as a  'rain' !
       ! in order to satisfy energy and moisture conservation, and  in the following !
       ! 'stratiform_tend', we will restore it back to 'qlten(k)' ( 'ice' will go to !  
       ! 'water' there) from surface precipitation. This is a funny but conceptually !
       ! entertaining procedure. One concern I have for this complex process is that !
       ! output-writed stratiform precipitation amount will be underestimated due to !
       ! arbitrary subtracting of 'rliq' in stratiform_tend, where                   !
       ! ' prec_str = prec_sed + prec_pcw - rliq' and 'rliq' is not real but fake.   ! 
       ! However, as shown in 'srfxfer.F90', large scale precipitation amount (PRECL)!
       ! that is writed-output is corrected written since in 'srfxfer.F90',  PRECL = !
       ! 'prec_sed + prec_pcw', without including 'rliq'. So current code is correct.!
