Solar irradiance at top of atmosphere
For solar irradiance at top of atmosphere, choose either a constant grey solar constant:
solaire = 1365
(for example) and:
ok_suntime_rrtm = n
in config.def
. Or choose a spectrally and time varying solar
irradiance:
ok_suntime_rrtm = y
in config.def
. Means we read from a NetCDF file solar irradiance at
top of atmosphere as a function of day of the year and spectral band.
If ok_suntime_rrtm = y
then gcm needs solarforcing.nc
, containing
variables tsi
, which is the solar constant, and ssi_frac
, which is
the fraction in each of the nsw bands, daily, for 1 year
(solarforcing.nc
has to be prepared with the right number of days).
