SlabOcean¶
- class konrad.surface.SlabOcean(*args, **kwargs)[source]¶
Surface model with adjustable temperature.
- __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].
Methods
__init__
([depth, heat_sink])Initialize a slab ocean.
adjust
(sw_down, sw_up, lw_down, lw_up, timestep)Increase the surface temperature using given radiative fluxes.
create_variable
(name[, data, dims])Create a variable in the model component.
from_atmosphere
(atmosphere, **kwargs)Initialize the surface by extrapolating the atmospheric temperature.
from_netcdf
(ncfile[, timestep])Create a surface model from a netCDF file.
get
(variable[, default, keepdims])Get values of a given variable.
Create a hash from all hashable component attributes.
set
(variable, value)Set the values of a variable.
Convert model component into an xarray.Dataset.
Attributes
attrs
Dictionary containing all attributes.
data_vars
Dictionary containing all data variables and their dimensions.
netcdf_subgroups
