Hi Chris
I tried to make an ice model, i think that i have done the correct settings in the run_aem3d.dat, such as:
Simulation module controls
1 iice
…………………………………………………..
Model settings and controls
0.08 mean_albedo ????
0.08 Constant_snowice_albed
6.0 snow_vis_ext_k
3.75 blueice_vis_ext_k
1.5 whiteice_vis_ext_k
20 snow_ir_ext_k
20 blueice_ir_ext_k
20 whiteice_ir_ext_k
………………………………………………………………
Default (uniformly distributed) values !
3.0 DEFAULT_WTR_TEMP ! Low Temperature
I doubt only for the value of the parameter mean_albedo with the ???? (0.08) if is it logical.
At the infiles > meteo.dat, I have chosen low AIR_TEM (-7 OC), Low SOLAR_RAD (10.000 w/m2) and in the same file (meteo.dat), I have added a last column for the Snow, (units: m/day). In the datablock.xml, I have added three GlobalVariables, BLUEICE_DEPTH, WHITEICE_DEPTH and SNOW_DEPTH. In the end of simulation I get logical values only for the BLUEICE_DEPTH but don’t get any values for the WHITEICE_DEPTH, I actually get zero values and I would like to ask if this is normal. Maybe I send you the dat files to facilitate you. Also I don’t know the different between parameters BLUEICE_DEPTH and WHITEICE_DEPTH. I looked for in the user manual but I dint find something explanatory. So in addition, I would Appreciated if you tell me some explanations about these two parameters.
Best Regards
Evangelos
