This method is the default method and is also used for all other prognostic quantities. If surface heating/cooling or a surface waterflux is applied, a horizontal temperature (humidity) gradient inside the boundary layer will develop, because the temperature/humidity profiles at the inflow are constant. The resulting horizontal differences in buoyancy can trigger an undesired circulation inside the entire domain and instabilities at the inflow boundary (see [#pt_damping_factor pt_damping_factor]).\\\\ |
