Microphysics_0M

Zero-moment bulk microphysics scheme that instantly removes moisture above certain threshold. This is equivalent to instanteneous conversion of cloud condensate into precipitation and precipitation fallout with infinite terminal velocity.

Methods

ClimateMachine.Microphysics_0M.remove_precipitation — Function

remove_precipitation(param_set::APS, q; q_vap_sat)

param_set - abstract parameter set
q - current PhasePartition
q_vap_sat - water vapor specific humidity at saturation

Returns the q_tot tendency due to the removal of precipitation. The tendency is obtained assuming a relaxation with a constant timescale to a state with precipitable water removed. The threshold for when to remove q_tot is defined either by the condensate specific humidity or supersaturation. The thresholds and the relaxation timescale are defined in CLIMAParameters.
