Some latest modifications to COSMO utility modules have been ported to INT2LM:
Several external parameters have been added to describe additional urban parameters:
| shortname | Explanation |
|---|---|
| URB_FR_BLD | Building area fraction with respect to urban tile |
| URB_H2W | Street canyon H/W ratio |
| URB_H_BLD | Building height |
| URB_ALB_TH | Urban material thermal albedo (1 - emissivity) |
| URB_ALB_SO | Urban material solar albedo |
| URB_HCAP | Volumetric heat capacity of urban material |
| URB_HCON | Heat conductivity of urban material |
For every field there is a new namelist switch, whether this field should be read from the external parameter data set:
| Group | Name | Meaning | Default | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| /CONTRL/ | lurb_fr_bld | NEW | if .TRUE., run with building area fraction | .FALSE. |
| lurb_h2w | NEW | if .TRUE., run with street canyon H/W ratio | .FALSE. | |
| lurb_h_bld | NEW | if .TRUE., run with building height | .FALSE. | |
| lurb_alb_th | NEW | if .TRUE., run with thermal albedo | .FALSE. | |
| lurb_alb_so | NEW | if .TRUE., run with solar albedo | .FALSE. | |
| lurb_hcap | NEW | if .TRUE., run with heat capacity | .FALSE. | |
| lurb_hcon | NEW | if .TRUE., run with heat conductivity | .FALSE. | |
If a namelist switch is set to .TRUE. the corresponding field will be read from the external parameter data set and written to the initial file for the COSMO-Model.
The following namelist variables have been added in /CONTRL/
| Group | Name | Meaning | Default | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| /CONTRL/ | lurb_fr_bld | NEW | if .TRUE., run with building area fraction | .FALSE. |
| lurb_h2w | NEW | if .TRUE., run with street canyon H/W ratio | .FALSE. | |
| lurb_h_bld | NEW | if .TRUE., run with building height | .FALSE. | |
| lurb_alb_th | NEW | if .TRUE., run with thermal albedo | .FALSE. | |
| lurb_alb_so | NEW | if .TRUE., run with solar albedo | .FALSE. | |
| lurb_hcap | NEW | if .TRUE., run with heat capacity | .FALSE. | |
| lurb_hcon | NEW | if .TRUE., run with heat conductivity | .FALSE. | |
