where is the units of UV_Tangle conversion？

[rcxy]

hi,
i know, in the tidal forcing file, the units of tide_Cangle is degree.
i don't know where units the conversion tide_Cangle to UV_Tangle.
i think, UV_Tangle=tide_Cangle*deg2rad.
thaks a lot !

grep is your friend. The conversion happens during the read in get_idata.F. You can see the degrees to radians conversion in varinfo.dat (last line shown):

Code: Select all

'tide_Cangle'                                      ! Input
  'tidal current inclination angle'
  'degrees'                                        ! [radians]
  'tide_Cangle, scalar, series'
  'tide_period'
  'idTvan'
  'r2dvar'
  0.017453292519943295                             ! pi/180

Note that idTvan matches here:

Code: Select all

        CALL get_2dfld (ng, iNLM, idTvan, ncFRCid(idTvan,ng),           &
     &                  nFfiles(ng), FRC(1,ng), update(1),              &
     &                  LBi, UBi, LBj, UBj, MTC, NTC(ng),               &
#  ifdef MASKING
     &                  GRID(ng) % rmask(LBi,LBj),                      &
#  endif
     &                  TIDES(ng) % UV_Tangle(LBi,LBj,1))

Thanks a lot !
