Define new parameter,
tscale_pnd_drain
, that sets the timescale (in days) for macroscopic drainage when using mushy thermodynamics. This parameterization is described in Turner and Hunke 2015 (eqn 47). It contributes to flushing along with gravity drainage, and therefore is not the timescale for flushing overall.tscale_pnd_drain
= 1 /lambda_pond
in icepack_therm_mushy.F90.Note:
tscale_pnd_drain
is not (yet) a namelist parameter, but it is now available in parameters for drivers to set their own values. This is needed for E3SM.Change the default value of
dpscale
(scaling factor for meltpond flushing with BL99 thermo) to 1.e-3 in the code. This is the value used in icepack_in and all of our tests.Clarify definition of
dpscale
in the code and documentation -dpscale
alters the timescale for drainage but is only a unitless scaling factor.Fix enthalpy units in code comments. Closes #455 (CICE does not suffer from this issue).
