Negative evaporation for Bunker-C #4

Closed RachaelDMueller closed 4 years ago

RachaelDMueller commented 4 years ago

We use Bunker-C Anchorage, short term (< 5 days), values for evaporation coefficients %Ev = (-0.13 + 0.013T) sqrt(t) These values cause negative evaporation in the code because the water temperatures we experience in the Salish Sea are often < 10 degrees C. Other evaporation constants for Bunker-C led to evaporation values that were too high and inconsistent with the literature on Bunker-C evaporation rates.

To fix this problem, I set evaporation to zero in all cases when evaporation is negative
