Output

This chapter describes which variables can be printed out and how.

Note

Since longer model runs can be heavily memory-consuming the general frequency of data-readout can be adjusted in the cofiguration.ini. The parameter data_readout (in rk4input) indicates on which step the data is read. 1 for every, 2 for every second …

There are two types of data to print.

The first type are the primary variables time and temperature. They are returned directly by the algorithm (for details see How to use or RK4.

The second type are secondary variables, such as the albedo or the insolation, which might be of interest to observe. They are stored by the Variables package within the class Vars. Most of them are written into a specific array which is labeled as Read and callable by:

from Variables import Vars
Vars.Read

and contains the following variables:

Read=[cL,C,F,v,P,Transfer,alpha,BudTransfer,Solar,Noise,Rin,Rout,ExternalOutput,CO2Forcing]

Beneath the variables in the Read-array, there are additional variables which can be printed, for example the following static variables:

Solar=list
Area=list
bounds=list
latlength=list
External_time_start=float
CO2_time_start=float

All of them are callable by:

from Variables import Vars
Vars.VARIABLENAME

The description of all output variables is given in chapter Variables.
