4.1.1. Namelist NAM_PGD_SCHEMES

This namelist defines the four schemes that will be used, one for each type of surface (sea, inland water, town, vegetation).

Fortran name Fortran type values default value
CNATURE string of 6 characters "NONE ", "FLUX ", "TSZ0 ", "ISBA " "ISBA "
CSEA string of 6 characters "NONE ", "FLUX ", "SEAFLX" "SEAFLX"
CWATER string of 6 characters "NONE ", "FLUX ", "WATFLX", "FLAKE " "WATFLX"
CTOWN string of 6 characters "NONE ", "FLUX ", "TEB " "TEB "
LGARDEN logical F

  • CNATURE: scheme used for vegegation and natural soil covers . The different possibilities are:
    • "NONE " : no scheme used. No fluxes will be cmputed at the surface.
    • "FLUX " : ideal fluxes are prescribed. The have to be set in the fortran routine init_ideal_flux.f90.
    • "TSZ0 " : In this cheme, the fluxes are computed according to the ISBA physics, but the surface characteristics (temperature, humidity, etc...) remain constant with time.
    • "ISBA " : this is the full ISBA scheme (Noilhan and Planton 1989), with all options developped since this initial paper.
  • CSEA : scheme used for sea and ocean . The different possibilities are:
    • "NONE " : no scheme used. No fluxes will be cmputed at the surface.
    • "FLUX " : ideal fluxes are prescribed. The have to be set in the fortran routine init_ideal_flux.f90.
    • "SEAFLX" : this is a relatively simple scheme, using the Charnock formula.
  • CWATER : scheme used for inland water . The different possibilities are:
    • "NONE " : no scheme used. No fluxes will be cmputed at the surface.
    • "FLUX " : ideal fluxes are prescribed. The have to be set in the fortran routine init_ideal_flux.f90.
    • "WATFLX" : this is a relatively simple scheme, using the Charnock formula.
    • "FLAKE " : this is lake scheme from Mironov, 2005.
  • CTOWN : scheme used for towns . The different possibilities are:
    • "NONE " : no scheme used. No fluxes will be cmputed at the surface.
    • "FLUX " : ideal fluxes are prescribed. The have to be set in the fortran routine init_ideal_flux.f90.
    • "TEB " : this is the Town Energy Balance scheme (Masson 2000), with all the susequent ameliorations of the scheme.
  • LGARDEN : general flag to activate TEB_GARDEN
