Diagnostics of tracer flux for MICOM

[TOC]

  • Diagnostics of trace flux including total flux, flux due to lateral diffusion and thickness diffusion have been implemented.

  • The trace flux can be switched on/off in micom.buildnml.csh, and I tested format 4 and 2 produce identical results.

  • Write and read tracer flux restart files is supported.

  • Tracer flux has the same unit as mass flux (kg.s-1), as of the tracer is non-dimensional.
