The coefficients for the saturation temperature relation for the condensing gas are now input parameters. KRC uses the Clausius-Clapeyron relation:


ln P = a - b/T


where P is pressure in Pascal and T is temperature in Kelvin.

This should be useful for Mars, Titan, Pluto etc.

SatPrA correspond to the Clausius-Clapeyron coefficient 'a'.
SatPrB corresponds to the Clausius-Clapeyron coeffcient 'b'.
LVFT = "T"

Values for CO2 are a = 27.9546 and b = 3182.48 (Provided by HHK, most likely from the Mars book). Values for N2 are a = 9.2338 and b = -724.9720 (Derived by SP using this table: File:Clausius Clapeyron.xlsx

The proper molecular weight should be input AMW. The Mass-fraction of mean atmosphere that is non-condensing should also be specified with FANON.

KRC function: KRC_Cond_Gas()


JBARE forces frost free at specified season. Default JBARE=0. (no forcing when = 0.)

JBARE corresponds to a CROCUS date, in Ls.

Note: the interface facilitates the use of JBARE so that JBARE ~ CROCUS date (Ls), but KRC has a more complex definition.
