A multi-column mode #26

Open nichollsh opened 6 months ago

nichollsh commented 6 months ago

AGNI is a 1D column model. It would be interesting to include multiple (equatorial) columns at different longitudes. This would allow some amount of heat transport around the planet, although the efficiency of the dynamical processes would have to be parameterised.

This could be done by creating and storing multiple atmos structs, but using a single solver.

Worth noting that this can maybe be done without creating multiple atmos structs, since that would add a lot over overhead. In theory, SOCRATES supports multiple profiles at different lat/long positions. This could be used for this purpose.
