Variables class

lowEBMs.Packages.Variables.Vars()

Variables.Vars defines any variable desired to store and access from another module’s functions.

There are three different types of variables defined.

Running variables:

Static variables:

Lat	The latitudes of the gridpoints (or ZMT)
Lat2	The latitudes of the centres between gridpoints (or centered ZMT)
solar	The distribution of solar insolation
orbtable	The lookup-table for orbital parameters (from climlab)
area	The area of a latitudinal belt
bounds	The boundary latitudes used to calculate Area
latlength	The circumference of a latitudinal circle
External_time_start	The simulation time when the external forcing sets in
CO2_time_start	The simulation time when the CO2 forcing sets in
start_time	The real clock time when the simulation was started

Storage variables:

cL	The sellers watervapour energy transfer
C	The sellers atmospheric sensible heat energy transfer
F	The sellers oceanic sensible heat energy transfer
P	The total energy transfer , P=cL+C+F (non-weighted, one direction)
Transfer	The total sellers energy transfer for a latitudinal belt
BudTransfer	The budyko energy transfer for a latitudinal belt
alpha	The alpha value distribution
Rdown	The downward radiative energy flux
Rup	The upward radiative energy flux
ExternalOutput	List of radiative forcings
CO2Output	The CO2 radiative forcing
ExternalInput	List of the raw input to calculate the radiative forcing
CO2Input	The raw CO2 input
