Directory listing
=================
Directory UCLALES-SALSA contains the source code of UCLALES-SALSA model. The code is also
available from GitHub (https://github.com/UCLALES-SALSA/UCLALES-SALSA) under branch IceDevelOrg
(commit ba5f769f03ed5a955cec9f8db2869ed76e8bd13f from May 22 16:24:00 2025 +0300).

Output netCDF files (*.nc) have the following naming convention:
ac_<microphysics>_inp<INP concentration>_rs<multiplier>.<output type>.nc
*Microphysics: l06 means SB (Seifert and Beheng, 2006) microphysics and l5 means SALSA microphysics.
*INP concentration: 1, 01, 001 and 0001 means concentrations of 1, 0.1, 0.01 and 0.001 #/g, respectively. 
*Multiplier: Hallett-Mossop splinter production has been multiplied by factors 0 (no SIP), 1, 5 and 10.
*Output type: each simulation has three different output files where ts means domain mean time series,
ps means horizontally averaged profiles, and cs means column averages. Column averages from each
processing unit have been merged with Fortran executable pples, originally compiled from
UCLALES-SALSA/script/combine.f90. Note that column averages (cs) are stored for the ac_l5_inp01_rs10
and ac_l06_inp01_rs10 simulations only. In addition to the netCDF files, each simulation has the
default runtime output stream stored in the *.out files. Directories test_* contain the simulations
for sensitivity tests.

Each variable in a netCDF file contains a brief description in addition to unit.

Both SB and SALSA microphysics have their default NAMELISTs (NAMELIST_sb and NAMELIST_salsa),
which have been modified for each run based on INP concentration and the multiplier.

sound_in contains the initial liquid water potential temperatures, total water mixing ratios and wind speeds.
Directory datafiles (or link to UCLALES-SALSA/bin/datafiles) contains the background atmospheric profiles for
radiative transfer calculations.

The other files are run scripts (runles_sb and runles_salsa). These are valid for CSC’s Puhti supercomputer.
