Stores the resulting forcing values.

The unitless multiplier on the thermal forcing term, $\Gamma_Tx_0/D_0$.

The unitless multiplier applied to the thermal forcing term to get the melt rate, $c_oT_0/L$.

The unitless multiplier applied to the forcing values to get the salinity forcing. It corresponds to the product of coef2 and the ice salinity. Typically this would be zero, but it might be positive if there is some marine ice present. Alternatively, depending on how the salinity has been scaled, it may have a negative value.

The melting temperature. While intuitively it makes sense to set this to zero, it can be useful to scale temperature in such a way that it will have a negative value.

The shape coefficient for a horizontally-integrated model. It is defined as $$\alpha_{|\vec{U}|T} = \frac{1}{y_2 - y_1} \int^{y_2}_{y_1} f_{|\vec{U}|}f_T dy,$$ where $f_{|\vec{U}|}(y)$ and $f_T(y)$ are the shapes of the variables $|\vec{U}|$ and $T$ in the transverse direction.

Returns the terms this melt formulation contributes to the heat equation, after they have been solved for using solve_for_melt.

Returns the terms this melt formulation contributes to the salt equation, after they have been solved for using solve_for_melt.

Returns the melt rate calculated using this formulation, after it has been solved for using solve_for_melt.

Whether this formulation of melting contributes any terms to a plume's heat equation.

Whether this formulation of melting contributes any terms to a plume's salinity equation.

The unitless multiplier on the thermal forcing term, $\Gamma_Tx_0/D_0$.

The unitless multiplier applied to the theram forcing term to get the melt rate, $c_oT_0/L$.

The salinity of fresh water. Defaults to 0.

The melting point of the ice. Defaults to 0.

The shape coefficient for a horizontally-integrated model. It is defined as $$\alpha_{|\vec{U}|T} = \frac{1}{y_2 - y_1} \int^{y_2}_{y_1} f_{|\vec{U}|}f_T dy,$$ where $f_{|\vec{U}|}(y)$ and $f_T(y)$ are the shapes of the variables $|\vec{U}|$ and $T$ in the transverse direction. Defaults to 1.

The velocity field of the plume into which fluid is melting.

The water pressure at the interface where the melting occurs.

The temperature of the plume into which fluid is melting.

The salinity of the plume into which fluid is melting.

The thickness of the plume into which fluid is melting.

The time at which the melting is being solved for. If not present then assumed to be same as previous value passed.
