 If the damping factor is too low, gravity waves can develop within the damping domain and if the damping factor is too high, gravity waves can develop in front of the damping domain. 
 
-Note that the method has no effect if [#recycling_method_for_thermodynamic_quantities recycling_method_for_thermodynamic_quantities] = 'absolute_value'.
+Note that the method has no effect if [#recycling_method recycling_method] = 'absolute_value' or [#recycling_method recycling_method] = 'absolute_value_thermodynamic'.
 
 Detailed information about the damping can be found in the documentation of the [../../tec/noncyclic non-cyclic lateral boundary conditions].

-If [#turbulent_inflow turbulent_inflow] = .TRUE., two recycling methods for the thermodynamic quantities theta and q are available:\\\\
-
-'turbulent_fluctuation': Turbulent fluctuations of theta (and q if humidity = .TRUE.) are recycled and added to the inflow profile, see [#turbulent_inflow turbulent_inflow] for a detailed description. 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]).\\\\
-
-'absolute_value': The absolute instantaneous values of theta (and q if humidity = .TRUE.) are recycled, so that the potential temperature (humidity) values at the inflow boundary and the recycling plane are identical. With this method there is no horizontal temperature (humidity) gradient and thus the circulation and the instabilities at the inflow boundary will not occur. Note that the mean inflow profile of the potential temperature (humidity) will now change in time (growing boundary layer), in contrast to the inflow profile of all other quantities (e.g. u,v,w) that are constant. In order to avoid this mismatch, the boundary layer height should be kept constant by applying a [#large_scale_subsidence large_scale_subsidence] to scalar quantities.
