This is an old revision of the document!

kolum, a one-dimensional boundary layer model

A quote from my 2002 article in Monthly Weather Review:

But, in these experiments, grid adaption is a solution looking for a problem.

This is rather ugly stuff, and I dare not upload it to github. But here it is, complete with the output from the program :

File name extensions are weird, and inconsistent with later projects. (Here, .his is a dump of the arrays and .trace is a time history of selected min/max)

run the code

Note kmake calls khtml, and khtml will fail unless you have installed f90tothml. See the last section below.

$ cd kolum
$ cd exe
$ ./kmake
$ cat kick
$ mkdir ../output/cloudnoga
$ ./Kinit
$ ./Kolum
$ ./his2pkl.py cloudnoga
$ ./kplot.py cloudnoga lengthmix tke
$ ./kplot.py cloudnoga fth qc
$ ./plottrace.py cloudnoga colwat

Next you may edit the file kick, and replace cloudnoga with cloud. Then repeat the above steps, with similar replacement.
