salt plume volume fraction code mod in progress, installment 01

3
4 #ifdef ALLOW_SALT_PLUME
5
6 C-- SALT_PLUME parameters
7 C Find surface where the potential density (ref.lev=surface) is
8 C larger than surface density plus SaltPlumeCriterion.
9
10 C SaltPlumeSouthernOcean: TRUE = apply salt plume globally
11 C FALSE = apply salt plume in Arctic Ocean only
12 LOGICAL SaltPlumeSouthernOcean
13 COMMON /SALT_PLUME_PARAMS_L/ SaltPlumeSouthernOcean
14
15 C CriterionType: 1=delta_rho, 2=drhodz, default is 1
16 C PlumeMethod: method of distributing salt plume vertically
17 C 1=power, 2=exp, 3=overshoot, 5=dump_at_top, 6=reverse of 1
18 C default is 1
19 C Npower: choices of distributing salt uniformly (0), linear (1),
20 C or higher power (Npower>1); default is 0 when PlumeMethod = 1
21 INTEGER CriterionType, PlumeMethod, Npower
22 COMMON /SALT_PLUME_PARAMS_I/ CriterionType, PlumeMethod, Npower
23
24 C SaltPlumeCriterion
25 C for CriterionType=1, default is 0.4 kg/m^3 of Duffy et al 1999
26 C for CriterionType=2, default is 0.005 kg/m^3/m
27 C SPovershoot: overshooting depth of penetrating salt plume,
28 C so that 1.0 = no-overshoot, 1.2 = 20% overshoot.
29 C default is 1.0
30 C SPsalFRAC: fraction of the salt by-product of seaice growth (not melt) that
31 C will be re-distributed vertically according to the salt_plume_frac.F
32 C Its default is 1. (for 100% effect), and its range is [0. 1.]
33 C SPinflectionPoint: the inflection point of a nonlinear function
34 C f(AREA) controlling saltPlumeFlux. f(AREA) is a logistic curve
35 C (sigmoid) with range [0. 1.] and f(SPinflectionPoint) == 0.5.
36 C Usage: pkg/salt_plume activates when AREA>=SPinflectionPoint.
37 C To assure only narrow leads generate plumes:
38 C set SPinflectionPoint >= 0.8.
39 C SPalpha :: fraction of grid volume designated to be brine, [0. 1.]
40 C If grid cell 18km x 18km x 10m, take SPalpha=0.001 gives
41 C volume of 0.001*drF(1)*[dx*dy] of brine. Thus SPbrineSalt
42 C can be calc as adding SaltPlumeFlux into this fractional vol.
43 C Default: 0.008 -> SPbrineSalt ~37 if SSS is ~32.

61 C Note: a) only used when salty sea-ice forms.
62 C b) units: when salinity (unit= psu) is expressed
63 C in g/kg, saltPlumeFlux unit becomes g/m^2/s.
