Released May 1999.
Major changes and additions from version 2.0:
- Vertical profile of b1 (the first basis function of
moisture perturbation from reference state) is changed to avoid negative
moisture in the upper levels (see Neelin and Zeng 1999 p17). Corresponding
radiative coefficients in clrad1.f are updated.
- The meridional boundary of the model is stretchable up to the
poles. All grids are shifted a half-grid point in the meridional direction.
See Section for details.
- A slab mixed-layer ocean model is implemented. See Section for details.
- Two additional convective closures are implemented in
qtcm.f.mconvct2. See Section for details.
Minor changes from version 2.0:
- utilities.f is added. See Section
for details.
- bndry.f is modified to read multiple monthly boundary data
and also to conduct time interpolation into daily data.
- FirstTime.sh is renamed spinup.sh.
- Several makefiles for different machines (SUN,CRAY and SGI)
are provided. A set of shell scripts for running QTCM on CRAY is also provided.
