typo when converting oxygen units from mL to mmol

Hi all, In fennel.h, the parameter l2mol is used to convert oxygen saturation concentration in mL/L to mmol/m3 and is defined real(r8) :: l2mol = 1000.0_r8/22.9316_r8 ! liter to mol But the molar volume of O2 is 22.3916 L/mol (see Garcia and Gordon, L&O, 1992, same source for the equations to ca...

Re: Restart with biology

Hi Virginia,

As far as I understand it, you don't need to change DSTART when you re-start a run, just NRREC. Hope that helps!

Re: BIO_SEDIMENT time delay of remineralisation

Hi there, I have included a remineralization lag in the sediments in a relatively simple way. You can see details of the parameterization and equations in the following paper: Bianucci, L., K. L. Denman, and D. Ianson (2011), Low oxygen and high inorganic carbon on the Vancouver Island Shelf, J. Geo...

Hi all, I'm trying to understand what's in the *rate diagnostic output. Take for example nitrate rate: it isn't equal to the sum of advection and diffusion. After going through the code I think it should be the total change with time (ie, include also biological sources minus sinks, fluxes due to nu...

Re: When ana_sediment is defined & there is an initial nc file..

Thanks for the reply! This wasn't a restart run (nrrec=0), so I realize now -after your comment- that the DO loop I added is not being used at all! (and probably should be removed) However, the fix worked and the run is still going on. So it looks like the extra "# ifndef ANA_SEDIMENT" is ...

Re: Oxygen dependence for nitrification and remineralization

Another thing: Remineralization of nitrogen detritus is now oxygen dependent, but this O2 function has not been included in the remineralization of carbon detritus.

Should the same oxygen function (fac2) be added to the remineralization rates of detrital C?

Best,

Re: Oxygen dependence for nitrification and remineralization

Moreover, I noticed that during night (PARsur=0) there is no oxygen dependence for nitrification. I think it should be included, shouldn't it?

I would like to know more about these O2 functions (e.g., where does the half saturation value for nitrification=3 mmol/m3 come from?, etc). Could you point me towards some references? Thanks...

different OBC for different tracers?

Hi all,

I would like to use different open boundary conditions for physical and biological tracers (e.g. radiation for temperature and clamped for nitrate). Is there an easy way to do that? (maybe some cpp option that I'm missing to see?)

Thanks for you input in advance!
Best,

Light issues when Biology is defined

Hi community, I think we may have a problem with the physical-biological coupling in terms of light. Please correct me if I'm wrong. When SOLAR_SOURCE is defined, short wave radiation penetrates the water column and contributes to T. The decay penetration function is based on Jerlov's water type, wh...

Hi all, In my NO3 output I get values very close to zero but negative (~ -10^-7). I added a couple of lines in Fasham.h, so it would tell me when NO3 is zero or less.
