Plot climatological year of environmental driving data.

e2ep_plot_edrivers.Rd

Multi-panel time series plots of climatological annual cycles of driving data as provided in the input csv files.

Usage

e2ep_plot_edrivers(model, selection = "INTERNAL")

Arguments

model

R-list object defining the model configuration compiled by the e2ep_read() function.

selection

Text string from a list identifying whether internal or boundary driving data are to be plotted. Select from: "INTERNAL", "BOUNDARY", default = "INTERNAL". Remember to include the phrase within "" quotes.

Value

Graphical display in a new graphics window. Does not return any data object since the data plotted are all available as input csv files.

Details

The function plots a multi-panel page of time series plots of monthly values of the environmental driving data for the model.

Units for the plotted variables are as follows:

Internal drivers (i.e. properties applied within the model domain)

  • Sea surface irradiance: uE/m2/d

  • Sea temperature: deg-C

  • Air temperature: deg-C

  • Vertical diffusivity gradient: m/d (derived from the vertical diffusivity (m2/s) and mixing length scale (m))

  • Inshore significant wave height: m

  • Proportion of seabed disturbed: /d (aggregated over the three sediment classes in each zone)

  • Suspended particulate matter: g/m3

  • Ice-free area: proportion of whole model domain (i.e. ice cover * zonal area)

  • Ice-free

  • Ice cover

  • Ice thickness: m

  • Snow thickness: m

Boundary drivers (i.e. properties applied at the boundaries of the model domain)

  • External inflows: m3 per m2 sea surface of model domain (derived from proportion input per layer volume, layer thicknesses and areas)

  • River discharge: m3 per m2 sea surface of model domain (derived from proportion input to inshore volume, and inshore layer thickness and area)

  • External boundary nitrate concentration: mMN/m3

  • External boundary ammonia concentration: mMN/m3

  • External boundary phytoplankton concentration: mMN/m3

  • External boundary detritus concentration: mMN/m3

  • River nitrate concentration: mMN/m3

  • River ammonia concentration: mMN/m3

  • River labile detritus concentration: mMN/m3

  • Atmospheric nitrate deposition flux: mMN/m2/d

  • Atmospheric ammonia deposition flux: mMN/m2/d
