[Wrf-users] SQVISC, what is it and what unit?

[Michael Weston]

Dear WRF users,

Can anyone please tell me what SQVISC is, what unit it is in and where 
this constant comes from?
It is, I suppose, the square of the viscosity of air, based on Cheng and 
Zhang 2009 and how it is used in the code, but I cannot work out which 
unit it is in.

module_sf_noahmplsm.F
REAL,    PARAMETER :: SQVISC = 258.2

It is also used here:
module_bl_myjpbl.F:     & ,SQPR=0.84,SQSC=0.84,SQVISC=258.2,TVISC=2.1E-5   &
module_bl_myjurb.F:     & ,SQPR=0.84,SQSC=0.84,SQVISC=258.2,TVISC=2.1E-5   &
module_bl_qnsepbl.F:     & 
,SQPR=0.84,SQSC=0.84,SQVISC=258.2,TVISC=2.1E-5   &
module_bl_shinhong.F:     & 
,SQPR=0.84,SQSC=0.84,SQVISC=258.2,TVISC=2.1E-5   &
module_sf_myjsfc.F:     & ,SQPR=0.84,SQSC=0.84,SQVISC=258.2,TVISC=2.1E-5  &
module_sf_noahmplsm.F:    REAL,    PARAMETER :: SQVISC = 258.2
module_sf_qnsesfc.F:     & ,SQPR=0.84,SQSC=0.84,SQVISC=258.2,TVISC=2.1E-5  &
module_sf_urban.F:     &          ,SQVISC = 258.2)

Any assistance would be appreciated
Thank you
