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.
data_type[1...3]
Type: character(len=16)
Default: "fabricate"
Required: no
Description: This specifies the type of data to be used for state,
precipitation, and radiation fields, respectively. Examples:
(1) data_type = "fabricate" => make domain data and use constant fields;
no data is read in. NOTE: If any or all of the data_type elements are
set to "fabricate", all fields are fabricated.
(2) data_type = "NCEP" => read in NCEP data.
(3) data_type = "CCM" => read in data from an active atmosphere simulation.
data_dir[1...3]
Type: character(len=256)
Default: "null:"
Required: yes
Description: This specifies where the data input file sequences
are found for state, precipitation, and radiation data files, respectively.
Examples:
(1) data_dir = "null:/whatever " => the "null:" prefix indicates that the
data has already been pre-positioned in the exectution directory.
(2) data_dir = "mss:/JDOE/data " => look for input data on NCAR's
Mass Storage System archival device.
(3) data_dir = "cp:~jdoe/data " => look for input data in user jdoe's
home directory in the data subdirectory.
data_year0[1...3]
Type: integer
Default: 1
Required: yes (unless the data year happens to be 1)
Description: the 1st year in the state, precipitation, and radiation
data files, respectively, e.g. 1985.
data_oyear[1...3]
Type: integer
Default: 1
Required: yes
Description: the simulation year matched to year0 for the state,
precipitation, and radiation data files, respectively, e.g. 1.
data_nyear[1...3]
Type: integer
Default: 1
Required: no (unless you want to cycle thru more than one year)
Description: the number of years in the sequence for the state,
precipitation, and radiation files, respectively, e.g. 2.
rest_type
Type: character(len=16)
Default: "continue"
Required: no (but default is of limited usefulness)
Description: This selects the run type.
Valid choices are: "startup", "hybrid", "continue", or "branch".
Selecting "branch" makes rest_bfile a required input.
ncpl
Type: integer
Default: 24
Required: no
Description: This specifies how many times per day the model
communicates (exchanges data) with the coupler.
flux_albfb
Type: integer boolean (0 <=> false)
Default: 0
Required: no
Description: If flux_albfb = true, then albedo feedback is activated.
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
