Simple Land Model for CESM --- *** IN DEVELOPMENT *** --- please contact for more info. See supplemental information of https://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/abs/10.1175/JCLI-D-18-0812.1 for a description of SLIM physics. Implementation of SLIM into the main CESM trunk is ongoing. SLIM currently works with the CESM2.1 release, but must be downloaded from this repository until we finish implementing it properly into the main CESM code.

Implement ice runoff with snow capping #10

Closed ekluzek closed 1 year ago

ekluzek commented 3 years ago

Currently snow isn't capped so can grow infinitely. In CTSM this is handled by having a maximum snow depth, and then send anything above that to runoff as an ice stream. The river model then takes this to the ocean and handles it with the ocean model. This would be required if we ever want to couple SLIM to an active ocean model

ekluzek commented 1 year ago

This is part of what would be needed to couple to a ROF and active OCN model in CESM. So closing as a long term issue.
