Vertical Turbulence Driver

The vert_turb_nml namelist only ever needs to be specified if turb = .true. in idealized_moist_phys_nml. The module computes the vertical diffusion coefficients. Some of the most common options for configuring this are described below:

Options

do_diffusivity

bool
If True, the diffusivity routine in the diffusivity module is run and the diffusivity_nml namelist needs to be specified.
Default: False

do_molecular_diffusion

bool
If True, the molecular_diffusion routine in the diffusivity module is run. do_diffusivity must be True for this variable to make any difference.
Default: False

Diagnostics

The diagnostics for this module can be specified using the module_name of vert_turb in the diagnostic table file. Some available diagnostics are given below:

z_full

Geopotential height relative to surface at full levels.
Dimensions: time, lat, lon, pressure
Units: \(m\)
