== Coare3.0 algorithm ==

The algorithm first defines most physical constants and coefficients and, after determining the proper conditions, calculates and integrates the diurnal warming of the ocean surface, using fluxes and net longwave radiation from the previous time-step and the solar absorption profile. The fraction of warming above the temperature sensor is added to the measurement, and subroutine ASL is called for the flux and boundary layer calculations. ASL is a descendant of the original LKB code, but almost all operations and parameterizations are changed. After a series of first guesses and operations to characterize the atmospheric surface layer within the framework of Monin-Obhukov similarity theory, the core of the subroutine is an iteration loop. This iterates three times over the fluxes, the roughness parameters (zo, zot, zoq), the M-O stability parameter and profile phi functions, and also calculates gustiness and the cool skin within the loop. Final values are returned to bulk_flux in COMMON. Finally, bulk_flux calculates the surface fluxes (Wm-2), skin temperature (sst), heat and momentum fluxes due to rainfall, neutral transfer coefficients, values of state variables at standard height, etc., and saves the fluxes for the next time step warm layer integrals.

This code is ready to receive albedo and PBL height used in this imported algorithm and it is now mandatory to include these properties when using COARE method. Albedo is required in all simulations as it is now a property of the InterfaceWaterAir. This was done to allow the user to use meteorological models or time series with albedo information.
As the code and equations are all documented and due to the size of the algorithm, they have not been explained here but can be consulted in https://coaps.fsu.edu/COARE/flux_algor/, as well as in the references mentioned below. The most important of these are:

== NEW KEYWORDS ==

In order to use this algorithm the user must include the following keywords in the mohid data file “InterfaceWaterAir.dat”:

USE_COARE : 1/0
COMPUTE_WARM_LAYER : 1/0
COMPUTE_COOL_SKIN : 1/0

Also, the user must add the property “albedo” in this data file.
In the data file “Atmosphere” the user must include the property “pbl height”, and the following keywords:

WIND_MEASUREMENT_HEIGHT : X in meters
AIR_MEASUREMENT_HEIGHT : X in meters
These values are dependent on the source of the data, if they were produced by a meteorological model or measured in a meteorological station. Each source will have its description and the user will have to find this information on his own.
