ICB melt per basin
Proposal
Add option to output iceberg melt and mean thickness per source basin. It could diagnose where the icebergs generated in specific par of Antarctica / Greenland / Others melt and what are there mean thickness. It could be used for :
- set up regional configuration where icebergs melt from outside the domain are specified as a climatology and the interactive iceberg module to simulate icebergs melt from iceberg generated within the domain are used.
- for climate model that want to split the iceberg melt climatology per basin and spread the melt in depth.
- analysis purposes.
Changes
- new input file: a file with the basin id in each calving site and a 1d array to make the correspondance between the basinid and the basin k levels (ie dimension variable of the output file)
- xml : add the extra diagnostics + an extra dimension that is the basin number
- namelist :
ln_icb_bas = .true. ! activate diagnostics by basin
cn_icbbasins_file = 'icbbasinid.nc' ! file defining the basin location
cn_icbbasins_var2d = 'basinid' ! basin id map
cn_icbbasins_var1d = 'basins' ! variable to define the dimension variable in the output (correspondance between basin index and basin id)
nn_icb_basins = 20 ! number of basin
- f90:
- change limited to ICB
- A new fields is added to the icb structures (basinid)
- if option and outputs activated, 3 new 3d fields are declared (melt, sumN, sumH) with dimensions: jpi,jpj,nbas
Development branch will be created in the external fork (link will be added later in the discussion).
