 Both schemes are based on a 0%-100%-scheme to diagnose the cloud water content and differ in the precipitation process. Therefore, it is not allowed to choose [#cloud_scheme cloud_scheme] = 'seifert_beheng' if precipitation is not allowed ([#precipitation precipitation] = .F.) in order to save computational resources.
