konrad.surface.SlabOcean.__init__

SlabOcean.__init__(depth=50.0, heat_sink=66.0, **kwargs)[source]

Initialize a slab ocean.

Parameters

  • temperature (float) – Surface temperature [K].

  • albedo (float) – Surface albedo [1]. The default value of 0.2 is a decent choice for clear-sky simulation in the tropics.

  • longwave_emissivity (float) – Longwave emissivity [1].

  • height (int / float) – Surface height [m].

  • heat_sink (float) – Flux of energy out of the surface [W m^-2]. The default value represents a surface enthalpy transport to the extra-tropics.

  • depth (float) – Ocean depth [m].
