data
The data file of expeRT/MITgcm is identical to the datafile of MITgcm.
There are a few things that one should change when modelling different hot Jupiters:
Parameter |
Meaning |
|---|---|
|
Value for the orbital period (in s) of the planet |
|
Surface gravity value (constant) |
|
bottom pressure of the model |
|
specific gas constant (set by |
|
heat capacity at constant pressure (set by |
|
bottom pressure of the model (make sure that there is no conflict with |
|
radius of the planet |
|
radius of the grid input file. If using MITgcm files, be sure to use the earth radius here! |
|
delta pressures, automatically adjusted by |
There are probably a few more things in here, that are not mentioned. Be sure to base your data file on the data file supplied.
