4.5. CBL input files¶
Main references for this part of the model: Onomura et al. (2015) [Shiho2015] and Cleugh and Grimmond (2001) [CG2001].
If CBL slab model is used (CBLuse = 1 in
RunControl.nml) the following files are needed.
Filename |
Purpose |
|---|---|
Gives initial data every morning * when CBL slab model starts running. * filename must match the InitialData_FileName in CBLInput.nml * fixed formats. |
|
Specifies run options, parameters and input file names. * Can be in any order |
4.5.1. CBL_initial_data.txt¶
This file should give initial data every morning when CBL slab model starts running. The file name should match the InitialData_FileName in CBLInput.nml.
Definitions and example file of initial values prepared for Sacramento.
