The model reads an input namelist from stdin at runtime.
Following is a list and description of available namelist input parameters.
case_name
Type: character(len=16)
Default: "null"
Required: no, but highly recommended
Description: This is the case name text string that appears in output files
to help identify the model run.
case_desc
Type: character(len=64)
Default: "null"
Required: no, but highly recommended
Description: This is a short text string (typically less than 80 chars)
which is included in output files to help identify the model run.
ncpl
Type: integer
Default: 24
Required: no
Description: This specifies how many times per day the model
communicates (exchanges data) with the coupler.
data_dir
Type: character(len=64)
Default: 'null'
Required: yes
Description: This specifies where the atmosphere data input file sequence
is found. The data files are assumed to be named "yyyy-mm.nc", where yyyy
is the four digit year and mm is the two digit month of the data file.
Examples:
(1) data_dir = "cp:~jdoe/data " => look for input data in user djoe's
home directory in the data subdirectory.
(2) data_dir = "mss:/JDOE/data " => look for input data on NCAR's
Mass Storage System archival device.
data_year0
Type: integer
Default: 1
Required: no (assuming files 0001-01.nc thru 00001-12.nc exists in
data_dir)
Description: This specifies the first year in the input atmosphere data
file sequence.
data_nyear
Type: integer
Default: 1
Required: no
Description: This specifies the number of years in the input atmosphere
data file sequence.
data_oyear
Type: integer
Default: 1
Required: no
Description: This specifies the "offset year" for the input atmosphere
data file sequence. The data file for data_year0 will coincide with the
simulation year data_oyear.
mss_rmlf
Type: integer boolean (0 <=> false)
Default: 0
Required: no
Description: This specifies whether to remove the local copy of an
input atmosphere data file after it has been read in by the model.
Iff mss_rmlf = 0, then the model will not remove the local file.
flux_albfb
Type: integer boolean (0 <=> false)
Default: 0
Required: no
Description: If flux_albfb = true, then albedo feedback is activated.
flux_rain2snow
Type: integer boolean (0 <=> false)
Default: 0
Required: no
Description: If there is no snow data on the input data files -- only
unspecified "precipitation":
if flux_rain2snow = false, then all precipitation is interpreted as rain
and there is no snow anywhere.
if flux_rain2snow = true, then the precipitation data will be
divided between rain and snow based on air temperature:
* air temp > 2 degrees C => all rain, no snow
* air temp < 0 degrees C => no rain, all snow
* 0 degrees C < air temp < 2 degrees C => partial rain and snow
flux_swfact
Type: real
Default: 1.0
Required: no
Description: This factor is applied to all shortwave fields.
This can be used to arbitrarily increase or decrease shortwave values.
info_dbug
Type: integer
Default: 1
Required: no
Description: Debugging information level: 0, 1, 2, or 3.
* 0 => write the least amount of debugging information to stdout
* 1 => write a small amount of debugging information to stdout
* 2 => write a medium amount of debugging information to stdout
* 3 => write a large amount of debugging information to stdout
