introduce options for vertical seeding locations #3

Open bradyrx opened 6 years ago

The goal here is to give a few options for seeding in the vertical, in addition to just seeding linearly to the bottom. I'll work on this and add updates here.

bradyrx commented 6 years ago

Here's an initial look at possible seeding options that the user can flag with the '--vertseedtype' option in the make_particle_file.py script (each case has 20 particles). There's a linear/uniform option (Phil's case), a log10 option that favors the mixed layer, and a "dense center" option that places 50% of the particles around [40%, 60%] of the column.

The parameters can of course be changed on the last one. But it's a start toward favoring one portion of the water column.

@bradyrx, where did this code end up? Was there a PR related to this that I missed somehow?

bradyrx commented 6 years ago

@pwolfram, this is implemented in the current BGC sensor PR https://github.com/pwolfram/MPAS-Model/pull/2 in the make_particle_file.py script. See option --vertseedtype and other related functions.

Thanks @bradyrx, sounds good. We should be able to close this issue when #2 is merged, following debugging as discussed last week.
