polaris.tasks.ocean.single_column.shortwave_pen.ShortwavePen

class polaris.tasks.ocean.single_column.shortwave_pen.ShortwavePen(component, indir)[source]

A single-column test of penetrating shortwave radiation over a range of Jerlov water types. Every run is driven by the same constant, uniform incident surface shortwave flux for 3 hours, so the incident energy is identical and only the vertical distribution of the heating differs.

Each water type gets a jerlov run, in which MPAS-Ocean’s two-band scheme and Omega’s three-band scheme are configured to absorb the flux identically. Under Omega each water type additionally gets a manizza run, whose red and blue bands take distinct extinction coefficients, to show what the third band changes.

The constructor builds the Omega superset of steps so component configuration can detect the required ocean I/O and model support. The steps are rebuilt for the selected ocean model in configure().
