| Variable | Namelist Group | Category | Entry Type | Valid Values | Possible Default Values | Description and out-of-the-box Default |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| flux_qacc | dice_nml | dice | logical | ['.true.', '.false.'] | .true. |
activates water accumulation/melt wrt Q
|
| flux_qacc0 | dice_nml | dice | real | ['any real'] | 0. |
initial water accumulation value
|
| flux_qmin | dice_nml | dice | real | ['any real'] | -300.e0 |
bound on melt rate
|
| flux_swpf | dice_nml | dice | real | ['any real'] | 0. |
short-wave penatration factor
|
| restfilm | dice_nml | dice | char | ['any char'] | null |
Model restart filename for the data ice model data. This is optional.
If restfilm is null, the restart filename will
be read from the ICE restart pointer file (or files for multiple instances).
|
| datamode | dice_nml | streams | char | ['ssmi', 'ssmi_iaf'] | is ssmi_iaf for: {'dice_mode': 'ssmi_iaf'} is ssmi for: {'dice_mode': 'ssmi'} |
general method that operates on the data.
Is a prognostic mode. It requires data be sent to the ice model.
Ice fraction (extent) data is read from an input stream,
atmosphere state variables are received from the mediator, and then
atmosphere-ice surface fluxes are computed and sent to the mediator.
|
| model_maskfile | dice_nml | streams | char | ['any char'] | $MASK_MESH is null for: {'single_column': 'true'} |
file specifying model mask if not obtained from input model mesh
|
| model_meshfile | dice_nml | streams | char | ['any char'] | $ICE_DOMAIN_MESH is null for: {'single_column': 'true'} |
file specifying model mesh |
| nx_global | dice_nml | streams | integer | ['any integer'] | $ICE_NX is 1 for: {'single_column': 'true'} |
global size of nx
|
| ny_global | dice_nml | streams | integer | ['any integer'] | $ICE_NY is 1 for: {'single_column': 'true'} |
global size of ny
|
| streamslist | streams_file | streams | char(100) | ['any char'] | is ssmi_iaf for: {'dice_mode': 'ssmi_iaf'} is ssmi_nyf for: {'dice_mode': 'ssmi'} |
List of streams used for the given dice_mode. |
