 The horizontal range of the smoothing is controlled by [#outflow_damping_width outflow_damping_width] which defines the number of gridpoints (counted from the outflow boundary) from where on the smoothing is applied. Starting from that point, the eddy diffusivity is linearly increased (from zero to its maximum value given by '''km_damp_max''') until half of the damping range width, from where it remains constant up to the outflow boundary. If at a certain grid point the eddy diffusivity calculated from the flow field is larger than as described above, it is used instead.\\\\
 The default value of '''km_damp_max''' has been empirically proven to be sufficient.
