 The dynamical processes are covered by advection and diffusion and they are described by the implemented methods. For the consideration of the

+thermodynamical processes modifications are necessary in the thermodynamics of PALM. In doing so evaporation and condensation are treated as 
 adiabatic processes whereas precipitation and radiation are treated as diabatic processes. In the dry version of PALM the thermodynamic variable

 The precipitation leaves the grid volume immediately if the threshold of the liquid water content 
 $\overline q_{l_{\mathrm{crit}}}=0.5\,\mathrm{g/kg}$ is exceeded. Hence, evaporation of the rain drops does not occur.

 The influence of the precipitation on the temperature is as follows:
