bb_filter_feeder - this is really a mail from Ulf - just want to see how it look in the issue tracker

[bolding]

Hi all,
in a project I need a benthic filter feeder. bb_filter_feeder could do what I want. However, bb_filter_feeder works on the entire water column. Since I only need a do_bottom, how to set up the model.
Should I make a new model in iow or can I do modify bb_filter_feeder and introduce a switch like do_benthic_filter_feeder=[true|false] to switch between do and do_bottom?

A second question is the application of an external clearance rate. How to do that with GETM? Can I simply provide a 2d field through GETM or do I have to set that up from scratch. Or can I recycle the fabm_surface_flux_file infrastructure in getm_fabm.inp?

Best, ulf

P.S. Sorry for mixing FABM/GETM/user/devel stuff.

Hi Ulf,

It sounds like you need a mixture of bb/filter_feeder and examples/benthic_predator. I'd suggest you start a new module. If it ends up being an only-slightly modified version of one of the examples, we could merge those changes in, or add it as a new example. And otherwise it can always go under iow.

Re GETM - that does not have full-fledged capability to read in arbitrary 2d/3d fields (something on our wish list), but the 2d reading facility may do what you need - I guess you'd have to look at the source code to be sure...

Cheers,

Jorn
