314 | | Summarized, the surface data-structure {{{surf_type}}} is used to store and access all surface related quantities in an optimized memory demand. Several adjoining surfaces at a grid cell (e.g. at corners) are treated separately. The new data-structure is also applied in the flat case without any topography. \\\\ |

317 | | |
318 | | - currently, it is not possible to combine different types of surfaces, e.g. natural land surfaces and urban surface |
319 | | - Restart data for natural type vertical surfaces are not enabled |
320 | | - Particles are not allowed in combination with downward-facing surfaces at the moment, as reflection-boundary conditions are not adapted so far |
321 | | - Particle SGS velocities are not well treated at downward-facing surfaces at the moment |
