Hi An and co,
my understanding is that the current set of parameters
allows various redistribution profiles shape and reach.
I was surprised not to find one to tune, not the shape,
but the very intensity of the parameterization. Did I miss it?
In my tests I added the following, which seems to provide for an
easy tuning of the salt plume parameterization strength.
I thought it could be of interest to other users. So, do you mind if
I introduce a SaltPlumeEfficiency factor in seaice_growth.F to do
saltPlumeFlux(I,J,bi,bj)=
& HEFFM(I,J,bi,bj)/SEAICE_deltaTtherm
& *(1-SIsalFRAC)*salt(I,j,kSurface,bi,bj)
& *tmpscal1*SEAICE_rhoIce
& *SaltPlumeIntensity
It would range from 0 to 1, and have a default of 1. I believe the
above snippet would be a correct way to do this. Isn't it?
Cheers,
Gael
