Fort.39: Salinity and Temperature River Boundary Values Input File

The Salinity and Temperature River Boundary Values Input File (fort.39) is used when the mesh file (fort.14) contains a baroclinic river boundary (IBTYPE=122) and IDEN is positive.

File Structure

The file format is as follows:

RIVBCTIMINC, RIVBCSTATIM

for i=1 to numberOfDataSets
    for j=1 to number_of_river_boundary_nodes
        (bc(j,k), k=1, NFEN)
    end j loop
end i loop

where: - RIVBCTIMINC is the time increment (in seconds) between the boundary condition datasets - RIVBCSTATIM is the time (in seconds) when the boundary condition data start, relative to the cold start time

Notes

• This file is only required when using baroclinic river boundaries (IBTYPE=122) with positive IDEN values

• The bc(j,k) values depend on the value of IDEN: - If IDEN=2: bc(j,k) represents salinity boundary condition values - If IDEN=3: bc(j,k) represents temperature boundary condition values - If IDEN=4: bc(j,k) should be replaced with salbc(j,k),tempbc(j,k)

• NFEN is the number of vertical levels in the model
