Parameter Variable and Physical Definition

Albedo: Brightness of a surface based on characteristics of the surface, measured as a ratio of incident light to reflected light.


Davinci Usage

Davinci Definition:
  • The bolometric albedo
Values:
  • Input = Real Value Parameter
i.e. 2 x n array: where entries in column 1 is a particular seasonal indicator and entries in column 2 is the albedo for the particular seasonal indicator of the same row
  • Units: Unitless
  • Range = (0, 1), if less than 0:
  • Default Value = Albedo based on latitude and longitude location from 2 ppd MOLA
Input Parameter Name:
  • ALBEDO


KRC Usage

KRC Definition:
  • Same as Physical Definition
Values:
  • Input = Real Value Parameter in F10.2 FORTRAN format
i.e. Floating point value, with a field width of 10, including leading blank spaces, plus or minus sign, decimal point and 2 integers after the decimal point.
  • Units: Same as Davinci
  • Range = (0, 1)
  • Default Value = 0.25
Input Parameter Name:
  • Same as Davinci (Old Parameter Name Listed in Helplist as: ALB)
Example:
See the default master input file as an example: master.inp
