<<  radiation calculation, http://bb.cgd.ucar.edu//viewtopic.php?t=31 >>

Postercathryn.meyer at yale.eduPostedMon Nov 01, 2004 2:26 pm MST, http://bb.cgd.ucar.edu//viewtopic.php?p=119#119
Message: The SWCF and LWCF were nonzero after I replaced cld with zero in the code tphysbc.F90.  Would setting cldmin&gt;1.0 in the codes RADCSWMX and RADCLWMX have the effect of not allowing the radiation code to see the clouds?  Would this affect the way the model sees the clouds at all?
<br />
<br />Thanks,
<br />Cathy

<br />How big were the numbers you saw in SWCF and LWCF?

Message: Most were zero or on the order of 10^-15, but occasionally there were areas where the numbers got as large as 50. or 75.

<br />That is not good. Before I start worrying, or poking around in the code
<br />can you assure me that you have done the test "exactly" the way I 
<br />suggested --- neither more, nor less.  You must realize that we 
<br />are juggling many different tasks here, and I dont want to be spending
<br />any time on sorting out other issues.
<br />
<br />Thanks
<br />

Message: Here is the change that I made to tphysbc.F90 (replaced "cld" with "zero" in the radctl call):

<br />I ran the model for 100 days in aquaplanet mode on my linux pc, although I don't think that would make any difference.  I can send you ascii files of the SWCF and LWCF output if you'd like to see the numbers for yourself.  Here are the maxes and mins:
<br />
<br />(0)     SWCF max and min
<br />(0)     0.0001462979
<br />(0)     -1.450159
<br />(0)     LWCF max and min
<br />(0)     67.38367
<br />(0)     -1.61599e-10
<br />
<br />Although most of the values are zero or near zero (10^-15 or less).
<br />
<br />I will try the model run again just in case I screwed anything up, but the output I just showed you was from the second try of the run already.

Message: My fault. The array "zero" is not a 2-D array, eg it was dimensioned
<br />(pcols), rather than (pcols,pver).
<br />
<br />Declare a 2-D array, like
<br />
<br />real(r8) zero2d(pcols,pver)
<br />
<br />set it to zero
<br />
<br />zero2d = 0
<br />
<br />and use that array instead of cld in the call to radctl. It worked for us.

<<  Using SCAM with specified surface properties, http://bb.cgd.ucar.edu//viewtopic.php?t=42 >>

Posterrneale_ca,PostedMon Nov 01, 2004 8:00 pm MST, http://bb.cgd.ucar.edu//viewtopic.php?p=124#124
Message: Is the option to use specified surface properties actually implemented in SCAM? Selecting the 'use specified surface properties' in the UI doesn't seem to have any effect and when I try and trace the logical variable use_srfprop it doesn't seem to get used anywhere after being initialized. I am using SCAM from the CCSM3.0 tarball. Thanks Rich.
