The CLaMS sedimentation module sedi
The program sedi
The program sedi calculates the trajectories of individual NAT-particles. Horizontal motion is given from the wind fields whereas vertical motion (sedimantation) is calculated from the settling velocity of the particles. Dynamical uptake and release of HNO3 from/into the gas phase are calculated. For that the output for the nearest neighbors of the chemistry simulation is interpolated to the particle trajectory locations. The HNO3 field in the chemisty output file is then adjusted according to Denitrification and Renitrification.
Update of programm sedi (March 2012)
The program sedi was updated in March 2012 to adapt to new developments of CLaMS
- Integraton of the NAT nucleation (pos_sedi) into the sedi programme
- Usage of the identical vertical (zeta) levels defined by pos_area for the air parcels
- Definition of a factor giving the ratio of nucleated particle parcels per air parcels
- Possibility to include a complex parametrisation of NAT nucleation rates developed by Ines Engel (ETHZ)
Input files
The program sedi needs the following input files with the information of the particles:
The first sedi.nc is the last days' output and contains position and parameters of the NAT accumulated surviving particles.
To run the model, one further needs the file bgr_sedi.nc that contains hourly HNO3 and H2O output for the chem simulation.
From the init*.nc file, the vertical grid and the numbers of air parcels per grid of the first day of simulation is read. This is needed to adapt for changes in the number of air parcels in a level over the course of the simulation.
The file sedi.inp controls the run of sedi and includes all necessary files.
The file add_sedi.nc (output of pos_sedi) in not needed anymore.
Changes of HNO3 will be written into the chem*.nc file. If present, the maximum NAT supersaturation SNATmax and the corresponding temperature Tmin can be read in to define the NAT nucleation rate after Ines Engel et al.
The (old) program pos_sedi (now unnecessary)
The programm pos_sedi creates a set of newly nucleated particles equally distributed over the area where T < T_NAT.
Levels and resolution are comparable to the program pos_area
It is advised to use this for particle nucleation as the positions should be independent of the positions of the CLaMS air parcels.
An effective nucleation rate must be calculated from the ratio of particle parcels per air parcel.
