Sub-timestep for the thermal plume model. ! Dependent on the timestep chosen for radiative transfer. ! It is recommended to run with 96 timestep per day and ! call radiative transfer at each timestep, ! configuration in which thermals can run ! very well with a sub-timestep of 10. #ifdef MESOSCALE ! ---- MESOSCALE (timesteps < 200s) ! -- only a few subtimestep are needed because physical timestep is low INTEGER,PARAMETER :: nsplit_thermals = 4 #else ! ---- GCM ! -- we recommend here a value for 96 physical timesteps per day in the GCM ! (a larger value will not change results... ! but would cost more for negligible benefit in stability and accuracy) INTEGER,PARAMETER :: nsplit_thermals = 10 ! -- if there is less than 96 physical timesteps per day we recommend !INTEGER,PARAMETER :: nsplit_thermals=35 #endif !------------------------------------------------------------ !------------------------------------------------------------ ! r_aspect_thermals !
