########################################################### # The following list specifies details about the # the use of variables in the Solver internal # state for use in nests. The names of the # internal state variables are on the left and # their desciption is on the right. ########################################################### ########################################################### # The first specification column indicates which # variables on the nest boundaries are updated by # the parent. An 'H' means the given variable lies # on H points while a 'V' means the variable lies # on a V point. ########################################################### ########################################################### # The second column for each variable indicates # if it is involved in shifts of moving nests. # Users need to exercise caution if they edit # that column. # # Key: H - Shift this mass point variable. # V - Shift this velocity point variable. # F - Shift this mass point variable with intra- # and inter-task routines but read in values # from external nest-resolution datafiles # within the parent update regions. # L - Shift this land sfc variable. # W - Shift this water sfc variable. # x - The parent must execute a halo exchange # for this variable each time one of its # children moves. ########################################################### ########################################################### # The third column indicates which variables are # to be used in 2-way exchange of data from a child # to its parent. An 'H' means the given variable will # be used and lies on H points while a 'V' means the # variable is to be used and lies on a V point. ########################################################### #------------------------------------------------------------ # Name Specifications Variable Description #------------------------------------------------------------ # BC Moving 2-way ### 2D integer 'ISLTYP' - F - 'Soil type' 'IVGTYP' - F - 'Vegetation type' 'NCFRCV' - - - 'Number of times convective cloud fraction >0 between outputs' 'NCFRST' - - - 'Number of times stratiform cloud fraction >0 between outputs' ### 2D real 'FIS' - F - 'Surface geopotential (m2 s-2)' 'HDACX' - - - 'Horiz diffusion param in X for H pts' 'HDACY' - - - 'Horiz diffusion param in Y for H pts' 'GLAT' - - - 'Latitudes of h points (radians)' 'GLON' - - - 'Longitudes of h points (radians)' 'PD' H H - 'Pressure difference, sigma range (Pa)' 'F' - - - 'Coriolis parameter (s-1)' 'HDACVX' - - - 'Lateral diffusion coefficient in X' 'HDACVY' - - - 'Lateral diffusion coefficient in Y' 'VLAT' - - - 'Latitudes of V points (radians)' 'VLON' - - - 'Longitudes of V points (radians)' 'PDO' - Hx - 'Previous pressure difference, sigma range (Pa)' 'ACFRCV' - - - 'Accumulated convective cloud fractions between outputs' 'ACFRST' - - - 'Accumulated statiform cloud fractions between outputs' 'ACPREC' - Hx - 'Accumulated precip (m)' 'ACSNOM' - - - 'Accumulated melted snow (?)'
