ground_drag_parameter Function

  1. ground.F90
  2. ground_mod
  3. ground_drag_parameter

private function ground_drag_parameter(this) result(drag)

Computes and returns a quantity which may be necessary to determine the frictional drag the ground exerts on the bottom of the ice sheet. An example would be the coefficient of friction. The description of this method is left deliberately vague so that as not to constrain how the drag is parameterized.

Arguments

Type IntentOptional AttributesName
class(ground), intent(in) :: this

Return Value class(scalar_field), pointer

The value of a paramter describing the drag of the ground on the ice sheet.
