heat fluxes from lnd to atm

[edyer@atmosp_physics_utoronto_ca]

Hi all,

I would like to alter the heat flux from lnd to atm in a particular geographic box. I think that I should probably be putting an 'if' statement in either lnd/clm/src/biogeophys/BareGroundFluxesMod.F90 where the fluxes are calculated or in lnd/clm/src/main/clm_atmlnd.F90.

I am not sure which is the best option. I am also not sure how to specify the box I would like to make the changes in, in either of these routines. As the calculations seem to be done over land units rather than regular grid cells I am not sure how to refer back to the latitude-longitude box I want to change.

Thanks!

Ellen

clm_atmlnd may be a good choice because the flux variables appear grid-averaged here and this is the last step before these variables get sent to the coupler.

The clm includes the variables latdeg and londeg that you may find useful for specifying a rectangular region.
