DYCOMS ¶
Purpose ¶
With this example stratocumulus-topped boundary layers can be studied.
Description ¶
The setup is based on the GCSS LES intercomparison case DYCOMS-II-RF01 (Stevens et al. (2005)). It describes stratocumulus convection in the sub-tropics over the ocean. With PALM, a well-mixed, coupled boundary layer with a continuous cloud deck can be simulated. Results from DYCOMS simulations with PALM were published in Heinze et al., (2012).

Required user code ¶
Please find the user code attached. The DYCOMS case requires a special radiative forcing which is contained in calc_radiation_dycoms.f90. Due to this radiation scheme, small adjustments in the Makefile and in prognostic_equations.f90 are necessary. Additionally, prandtl_fluxes.f90 has to be slightly modified. The files mentioned before can be found in the attachment user_code in addition to the user routines. All the files in the attachment have to be placed in the same directory as the user routines.
