climt.BucketHydrology¶

class climt.BucketHydrology(soil_moisture_max=0.15, beta_parameter=0.75, specific_latent_heat_of_water=2260000, bulk_coefficient=0.0011, **kwargs)[source]¶

Manages surface energy and moisture balance This component assumes that the surface is a slab with some heat capacity and moisture holding capacity. Calculates the sensible and latent heat flux, takes precipitation values as input.

__init__(soil_moisture_max=0.15, beta_parameter=0.75, specific_latent_heat_of_water=2260000, bulk_coefficient=0.0011, **kwargs)[source]¶

Args: soil_moisture_max:

The maximum moisture that can be held by the surface_temperature

beta_parameter:: A constant value that is used in the beta_factor calculation.
bulk_coefficient:: The bulk transfer coefficient that is used to calculate maximum evaporation rate and sensible heat flux

Methods

`__init__`([soil_moisture_max, …])	Args: soil_moisture_max: The maximum moisture that can be held by the surface_temperature beta_parameter: A constant value that is used in the beta_factor calculation.
`array_call`(state, timestep)	Calculates sensible and latent heat flux and returns surface temperature and soil moisture after timestep.
