What's Included In the Model

 

The tar package for this release of the QTCM1 model contains the following sub-directories:

bnddata

Directory of boundary data files, such as sea surface temperature (SST), albedo, etc. See Section 2.4.1 for more information.

doc

The LaTeX files for this manual, as well as an HTML version and a Postscript version.

inidata

Initial conditions (restart files).

misc

Documentation and possibly notes and errata.

proc

GrADS scripts that can be used to display and analyze the output from the model.

src

Source code for the model.

work

This directory provides a workspace in which to execute the model. Section 2.3.2 has a more detailed description of this directory.

Because the model is meant to be reasonably straightforward to diagnose, the complete model consists of comparatively few files. Below is a listing and short description of the source code/parameter files that make up the model; they are found in directory src:

abl.f90

Simple atmospheric boundary layer model for surface winds and to compute surface fluxes.

bndry.f90

A generic routine for reading in monthly climatological fields.

calendar.f90

Source code for calendar and time managing routines.

clrad.f90

Source code for radiation parameterization package by Chia Chou [5]. The solar component is diurnally averaged.

clrad0.f90

Source code for a simpler radiation parameterization package. The solar component is diurnally averaged.

clrad1d.f90

Source code for radiation parameterization package by Chia Chou [5], with the diurnal cycle resolved.

cplmean.f90

Source code for routine that accumulates coupling variables (fluxes) from the qtcm model over time for ocean coupling.

driver.f90

Source code for subroutine driver which couples the atmospheric model and the SST boundary condition which drives it.

fatdpkg.f90

Direct Poisson solver, courtesy of Alistair Adcroft.

getbnd.f90

A routine that passes boundary data arrays such as SST and albedo.

land.f90

The land-surface model Simple-Land (SLand1); and a simple implementation of the bucket model (not used).

makefile

The makefile to compile the model.

ocean.f90

Source code for routine that provide QTCM with SST (``ocean model'') Per default this is a routine which reads SST from a data file. If MXLOCEAN is define a slab mixed layer ocean is used.

output.f90

Source code for output routines.

par.f90

Source code for a program ``par'' which computes the model parameters from the sounding table in file Tqo3.ref.

qtcm.f90

Source code for routines in the QTCM1 atmospheric model. These subroutines are called and controlled by subroutine qtcm.

qtcmmod.f90

QTCM module file. The version 2.2 common block definition in header files hgrid.h qtcm.h, driver.h and calendar.h are merged in to modules stored in this file.

qtcmpar.f90

Parameter module file. This file is generated by the program ``par'' whose sources are in par.f90.

sflux.f90

Source code for surface flux computation.

Tqo3.ref

Reference profile of temperature, humidity and ozone used as input of program ``par'' to compute the model parameters.

utilities.f90

Source code for various utility routines.

All source code is written in FORTRAN-90.
