6.26. cable_soilparm.nml

This file contains a namelist called CABLE_SOILPARM that sets time-invariant parameters for different soil types for the CABLE land surface model.

6.26.1. CABLE_SOILPARM namelist members

This namelist reads the values of parameters for each of the soil types if the CABLE land surface model is being used. These parameters are a function of surface type only. All parameters must be defined for any configuration. The number of soil types is stored in the n_soiltypes parameter and for the current version of CABLE is set to 9.
