static_plume_drag_parameter Function

  1. static_plume.F90
  2. static_plume_mod
  3. static_plume_drag_parameter

private function static_plume_drag_parameter(this) result(drag)

Computes and returns a quantity which may be necessary to determine the frictional drag the plume exerts on the bottom of the ice shelf. The plume would actually tend to exert no drag on the bottom of the ice shelf, but this method is present so that there is a consistent interface with the ground data type.

Arguments

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

Return Value class(scalar_field), pointer

The melt rate at the base of the ice sheet.
