3.16.4 Configuration and setup

The CPP keys relative to the ``numerical model'' part of the code are all defined and set in the file CPP_OPTIONS.h in the directory model/inc or in one of the code directories of the case study experiments under verification. The model parameters are defined and declared in the file model/inc/PARAMS.h and their default values are set in the routine model/src/set_defaults.F. The default values can be modified in the namelist file data which needs to be located in the directory where you will run the model. The parameters are initialized in the routine model/src/ini_parms.F. Look at this routine to see in what part of the namelist the parameters are located.

In what follows the parameters are grouped into categories related to the computational domain, the equations solved in the model, and the simulation controls.
