A short answer to your question is: yes. You can see that the CPD constant is use in balanc.f in the computation of G(0) and it is also used in flxsurfz.f. The last use will probably affect the value of CTU whom is also used in the computation of G(0). For a more indepth comprehension of what is going on in flxsurf.z, please refer to: Delage, Y. and C. Girard, 1992: Stability functions correct at the free convection limit and consistent for both the surface and Ekman layers. Bound.-Layer Meteor., 58, 19–31. If you ever modify flxsurfz.f in a successful way, it could probably lead to the publication of an article :) Cheers, Miguel -- Miguel Tremblay Physicien - Physicist Centre météorologique canadien - Canadian meteorological centre (CMC) Environnement Canada - Environment Canada http://www.ec.gc.ca/ 2121 Trans-Canada N.
