RadiativeEnergyFlux

AbstractNetSwFluxModel{FT <: AbstractFloat}

PrescribedSwFluxAndAlbedo{FT, FN1, FN2} <: AbstractNetSwFluxModel{FT}

Structure which contains functions for shortwave albedo and shortwave fluxes. They are user-defined, constant across the domain and can be a function of time.

All fluxes are assumed to be normal to the surface.

Fields

• α

  Shortwave albedo in grid. No units.

• swf

  Shortwave flux in grid. Units of J m-2 s-1

PrescribedNetSwFlux{FT,FN3} <: AbstractNetSwFluxModel{FT}

Structure which contains net shortwave flux values. The function is user-defined, constant across the domain and can be a function of time.

All fluxes are assumed to be normal to the surface.

Fields

• nswf

  Net shortwave flux. Units of J m-2 s-1

compute_net_sw_flux(
    nswf_model::PrescribedSwFluxAndAlbedo{FT},
    t::Real,
) where {FT}

Computes the net shortwave flux magnitude as a function of time.

compute_net_sw_flux(
    nswf_model:: PrescribedNetSwFlux{FT},
    t::Real
) where {FT}

Computes the net shortwave flux magnitude as a function of time.

compute_net_radiative_energy_flux(
    nswf_model::AbstractNetSwFluxModel{FT},
    t::Real
)

Returns the net radiative energy flux magnitude as a function of time. Will include long wave fluxes in future version.

The flux vector is this magnitude * -n̂, where n̂ is the normal vector pointing out of the domain at the surface.
