g_tracer_utils Module Reference

Detailed Description

g_tracer_utils module consists of core utility subroutines to be used by all generic tracer modules. These include the lowest level functions for adding, allocating memory, and record keeping of individual generic tracers irrespective of their physical/chemical nature.

Data Types
type	g_diag_type
	Unknown. More...
type	g_tracer_common
	The following type fields are common to ALL generic tracers and hence has to be instantiated only once. More...
interface	g_tracer_get_pointer
	Return the pointer to the requested field of a particular tracer. More...
interface	g_tracer_get_values
	Reverse of interface g_tracer_set_values for getting the tracer member arrays in the argument value. More...
interface	g_tracer_set_values
	Set the values of various (array) members of the tracer node g_tracer_type. More...
type	g_tracer_type
	Each generic tracer node is an instant of a FORTRAN type with the following member variables. These member fields are supposed to uniquely define an individual tracer. One such type shall be instantiated for EACH individual tracer. More...

Vertical Diffusion of a tracer node.

This subroutine solves a tridiagonal equation to find and set values of vertically diffused field for a tracer node.This is ported from GOLD (vertdiff) and simplified Since the surface flux from the atmosphere (stf) has the units of mol/m^2/sec the resulting tracer concentration has units of mol/Kg

Parameters

	g_tracer	Unknown
[in]	h_old	Layer thickness before entrainment, in m or kg m-2.
[in]	ea	The amount of fluid entrained from the layer above, in H.
[in]	eb	The amount of fluid entrained from the layer below, in H.
[in]	dt	The amount of time covered by this call, in s.
[in]	kg_m2_to_h	A conversion factor that translates kg m-2 into the units of h_old (H)
[in]	m_to_h	A conversion factor that translates m into the units of h_old (H).
[in]	tau	Unknown
[in]	mom	Unknown
