changing surface albedo (monthly change)

[debasish@gi_alaska_edu]

Hello

Thanks again Sam for providing me the help to I need to modify the surface albedo in source code (SurfaceAlbedoMod.F90) for a particular region. I have allready made the changes in SoilAlbedo and TwoStream section and added the my albedo change file according to youe advice. But I have monthly values in my added albedo change file and I am not sure about adding time loop in the program SurfaceAlbedoMod.F90 so that program can included the albedo changes for each month during the CCSM3.0 run of that month.

Any clue or suggessition ??

Thanks in advance

If I understand the question, you are not sure how to handle the monthly data in your simulation. If I were you, I would look at how the model handles other monthly data, such as the LAI (leaf area index) data.
