Input Parameter

thick

Physical Definition

The thickness of the upper material of a surface. thick is effective when a user desires to adjust the thermal inertias of two materials while keeping the thickness of the upper material constant. For example, a thin layer of dust on top of bedrock.

  • When thick is used as an input parameter, evalN1_krc() is called automatically, and calculates several parameters to create model stability for a material with this thickness.
  • Therefore, manually adjusting the following parameters, which are used in evalN1_krc(), may result in a non-stable model:
  • The layer at which material properties change (i.e. IC).
  • The number of seasons calculated in the run (i.e. N1)
  • The model's start season (i.e. JDISK)
  • The increment between seasons, in Julian Dates or LS (i.e. DELJUL or DELLS, respectively)
  • The length of one solar day (i.e. PERIOD)
