6.4. cable_surface_types.nml¶
This file configures the surface types used by CABLE. It contains one namelist called CABLE_SURFACE_TYPES.
6.4.1. CABLE_SURFACE_TYPES namelist members¶
- CABLE_SURFACE_TYPES::npft_cable¶
- Type
integer
- Permitted
>= 1
- Default
-32768
The number of plant functional types to be modelled.
- CABLE_SURFACE_TYPES::nnvg_cable¶
- Type
integer
- Permitted
>= 1
- Default
-32768
The number of non-plant surface types to be modelled.
Note
The total number of surface types to be modelled is called ntype_cable, and is given by ntype_cable = npft_cable + nnvg_cable.
In the standard setup, CABLE models 13 vegetation types and 4 non-vegetation types (npft_cable = 13, nnvg_cable = 4). However, the model domain need not contain all 13 types, e.g. the domain could consist of a single point with 100% grass. The amount of each type in the domain is normally set in JULES_FRAC.
- CABLE_SURFACE_TYPES::urban_drive¶
- Type
integer
- Default
-32768
- CABLE_SURFACE_TYPES::lakes_cable¶
- Type
integer
- Default
-32768
Index of the lakes surface type.
A negative value indicates no lakes surface type.
- CABLE_SURFACE_TYPES::barren_cable¶
- Type
integer
- Permitted
>= 1
- Default
-32768
Index of the barren soil surface type.
Note
A barren soil surface type must be given.
- CABLE_SURFACE_TYPES::ice_cable¶
- Type
integer
- Default
-32768
Index of the ice surface type.
A negative value indicates no ice surface type.
