Atmospheric forcing
In SELFE, atmoserpic forcings include wind, air pressure and temperature, precipitation, humidity and longwave and shortwave fluxes. These are specified in the netcdf files inside sflux/ dir. There are 4 types of files in this dir:
- sflux_inputs.txt:
$cat sflux_inputs.txt
&sflux_inputs !file name
start_year = 1998, !start year
start_month = 09, !start month
start_day = 01, !start day
start_hour = 0.0, !start hour
utc_start = 0.0, !offset from UTC in hours, with positive numbers for western hemishpere
