HydroGeoSphere/Pore Water Freezing and Thawing

To calculate the freezing and thawing of pore water, HydroGeoSphere requires the following set of instructions:

Pore water freezing-thawing...End edit

grok reads instructions that define the pore water freezing and thawing parameters for the domain until it encounters an End instruction.

For example:

pore water freezing-thawing
    surface temperature
        0              -7.0
        2592000        -6.1
        5184000        -0.9
        7776000         6.2
        10368000       12.9
        12960000       18.0
        15552000       20.2
        18144000       19.3

Surface temperature edit

time(i), val(i)...end The time and surface temperature value list.

At time time(i) the value val(i) is applied and maintained until time time(i+1). The last value entered in the list will be applied until the end of the simulation.
