fixing the paved/building ratio #64

Closed hamidrezaomidvar closed 5 years ago

hamidrezaomidvar commented 5 years ago

As so far we have been using an equal ratio (0.5) for paved and building of urban fraction, we need to fix this. To do so, I am implementing this: introducing a variable called paved_ratio which is the ratio of paved over urban (paved + building), and in the suewsinit we use this variable to fix the ratio of paved/building. Note that by using this, we basically ignore the ratio we put innamelist.suews

maybe leave a note somewhere (e.g., in the namelist.suews) that the fraction there will be ignored. Or, detect if this paved_ratio is set in wrfinput: if unset, use the value in namelist; otherwise, let the paved_ratio precedes the namelist value.

This is implemented and tested.
