Hello,
Pardon my insufficient knowledge of the Fortran coding but I have to ask the following questions here as I only have this forum to check my inquiries with:
I have found the "Modified CLM4.5 files to change the bottom heat flux and add 24 bedrock layers of thickness 12.5 m at the bottom of the land column (to increase the soil depth from 42.1m to 342.1m)" = this link (Lower boundary conditions improvement in CLM4.5)
In CLM5, the file previously known as iniTimeConst.F90 in CLM4.5, which is used for modifying soil thermal properties, seems to have been renamed to SoilStateInitTimeConstMod.F90
I have located SoilStateInitTimeConstMod.F90 in the my_cesm_sandbox/components/clm/src/biogeophys directory and clm_varpar.F90 in the my_cesm_sandbox/components/clm/src/main directory of my ported CESM2.1.3 model. But, I can not find some of the required modifications explained in the above link, for instance:
1. iniTimeConst.F90 (Layers)
- Variable thick_equal changed form 0.2 to 12.5 (m)
- Original code for zsoi, zisoi and dzsoi changed to code in Appendix A
What is this thick_equal variable name in CLM5?
What is that Appendix A referring to?
Also, I noticed that the structure of those modified files in CLM4.5 (the link above) is almost different from the current equivalent files in CLM5. How should I modify them (in CLM5) without messing up the whole code?
I also need to do the rest of the modifications (regarding adding bottom heat flux) to CLM5, so your help would be tremendous.
P.S. I contacted the people who did this on CLM4.5 and unfortunately, they are unavailable or maybe unwilling to help.
