Recommended ICON Namelist Settings
It is necessary for the user to choose the ICON settings carefully. Part of the values listed in are recommended to obtain a stable ICON-ART simulation with scientifically reasonable results. Another part is necessary to enable ART features like aerosol-cloud-interactions.
| Parameter | Value | Namelist | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| dtime | - | run_nml | If facing stability problems, it is recommended to use a shorter time step as recommended by operational setups (e.g. 0.6*dtime). |
| inwp_gscp | 6 | nwp_phy_nml | In order to enable aerosol-cloud-interactions within ICON-ART, you have to specify this. Note, that you will still need to set iart_aci_warm and iart_aci_cold from . |
| irad_aero | 6 | radiation_nml | aerosol optical properties are taken from climatology |
| 9 | optical properties depend on aerosol concentrations (set iart_ari = 1 in art_nml ) |
ART Namelists
ICON-ART has an own namelist to modify the setup of ART simulations at runtime. The main switch for ART, lart, is located inside run_nml. The namelist for the other ART switches is called art_nml.
A naming convention is used in order to show the type of data. An INTEGER namelist parameter starts with iart_, a REAL namelist parameter starts with rart_, a LOGICAL namelist parameter starts with lart_, and a CHARACTER namelist parameter starts with cart_.
The ICON-ART namelist is located in the module src/namelists/mo_art_nml.f90. General namelist parameters are listed and explained within . Namelist parameters for ART input are listed within . Namelist parameters related to atmospheric chemistry are listed within . Namelist parameters related to aerosol physics are listed within . Namelist parameters related to feedback processes between aerosols and meteorological variables are listed in . Finally, namelist parameters related to physics parameterizations in ICON are listed in .
