18parameters</h3>
19<p style="line-height: 100%;">As for the model in general, also the
20user-defined code will have to be steered by parameters. For each
21run the model should to be able to read in current values of these
22parameters. The declaration of user-defined parameters takes place in
23the user-defined module <tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">user</font></tt>
24(located at the beginning of the file <tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">user_interface.f90</font></tt>).
25This module must be declared in all relevant user-defined routines via
26a USE statement, in order to make the parameters available. </p>
27<p style="line-height: 100%;">The user can assign values to the
28user-defined parameters within the NAMELIST group <tt><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">&amp;userpar
29<font size="3"><font face="Thorndale, serif">in the local file</font></font>
30<a href="chapter_3.4.html#PARIN">PARIN</a></font></tt>.
31This NAMELIST group must be located after the initialization
32parameters and run parameters (<tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">&amp;inipar</font></tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">,
33</font><tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">&amp;d3par</font></tt>)
34(see <a href="chapter_4.0.html">chapter
354.0</a>). Before values of the user-defined parameters can be assigned,
36the parameters must be declared within the appropriate NAMELIST
37statement in the user-defined subroutine <tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">user_parin</font></tt>.
38</p>
39<p style="line-height: 100%;">The following example illustrates the
40procedure. The example assumes that the user declares a
41LOGICAL variable named <tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">abcd</font></tt>
42for steering the user-defined code. This variable
43must be declared in the module <tt>user</tt>: </p>
44<ul>
45  <p style="line-height: 100%;"><tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">LOGICAL:: abcd = .FALSE.</font></tt></p>
46</ul>
47<p style="line-height: 100%;">Pay attention that in this example a
48default value (.FALSE.) is assigned to the variable and it will keep
49this value if nothing else is assigned within the file <tt>PARIN</tt>.
50In <tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">user_parin</font> <font face="Thorndale, serif">the</font></tt>
51NAMELIST must be extended by the name of the new variable: </p>
52<ul>
53  <p style="line-height: 100%;"><tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">NAMELIST /userpar/ &nbsp;abcd, data_output_user, region.</font></tt></p>
54</ul>
55<p style="line-height: 100%;">In the parameter file PARIN a value can
56be assigned: </p>
57<ul>
58  <p style="line-height: 100%;">. <br>
59. <br>
60  <tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">&amp;userpar abcd = .T.,</font></tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2"> ...</font></p>
61</ul>
62<p style="line-height: 100%;">User defined parameters in the file PARIN
63are
64considered as run parameters, i.e. they must be specified again for
65each restart run.</p>
66<p style="line-height: 100%;">In each case the user should carry out
67a control output of the parameter values, so
68that their values during the respective model run are really known. For
69this
70purpose the user-defined subroutine <tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">user_header</font></tt>
71which writes into the files <a href="chapter_3.4.html#HEADER">HEADER</a>
72and <a href="chapter_3.4.html#RUN_CONTROL">RUN_CONTROL</a>
73is available. <br>
