 instead of ''θ'' as described in Sect. [wiki:doc/tec/gov governing equations]. Since ''q'' and ''θ'',,l,, are conserved quantities for wet adiabatic processes, condensation/evaporation is not considered for these variables.
 
+PALM offers three different schemes for the treatment of liquid phase microphysics. The Kessler
 Liquid phase microphysics are parametrized following the two-moment scheme of [#seifert2001 Seifert and Beheng (2001],[#seifert2006  2006)], which is based on the separation of the droplet spectrum into droplets with radii < 40 μm (cloud droplets) and droplets with radii ≥ 40 μm (rain droplets). The model predicts the first two moments of these partial droplet spectra, namely cloud and rain
 droplet number concentration (''N'',,c,, and ''N'',,r,,, respectively) as well as cloud and rain water mixing ratio
