14.4.3 Surface boundary conditions

Namelist /mbcin/

These variables are for surface boundary conditions.

•  ocean_sbc = names for surface boundary conditions chosen from the list within module setup_sbc. Note that if specifying surface boundary conditions from namelist, the entire list of ocean and atmos surface boundary conditions must be given.

•  atmos_sbc = names for surface boundary conditions chosen from the list within module setup_sbc. Note that if specifying surface boundary conditions from namelist, the entire list of ocean and atmos surface boundary conditions must be given.

•  numpas = maximum number of iterations used to extrapolate data into land regions on the model grids where it was constructed. This only applies when option coupled is enabled.

•  bwidth = blending zone width in degrees when using limited domain ocean models with global atmosphere models. This only applies when option coupled is enabled.

•  taux0 = zonal windstress in dynes/cm² for idealized equatorial studies. Refer to Section 28.2.2.

•  tauxy = meridional windstress in dynes/cm² for idealized equatorial studies. Refer to Section 28.2.3.
