ModeUp 

 Mode for Tectonic Uplift Model

Mode for tectonic uplift in model

  • ModeUp=0: the default model, spatially uniform pulse uplift over time 'notch'
  • Modeup=1: Sinusoidal uplift with amplitude 'Tamp', period 'TPeriod 'and initial phase 'Tphase'. Spatially uniform.
  • ModeUp=2: Square wave with parameters as for sinusoidal
  • ModeUp=3: impulse uplift with height Tamp, period Tperiod and initial phase Tphase.
  • ModeUp=4: Regions of spatially varied uplift model (input in uplift model file)

Uplift 

 Input File: Tectonic Uplift Model

Uplift Model File

  • A supplementary file from which uplift data is read in the more advanced tectonic uplift models.

 6

TimeUp 

 Duration of tectonic uplift

  •  The time from the start of the simulation for which the tectonics model will be active. For time > TimeUp the tectonics model is turned off.

 46

 SInit

 Initial elevation for blank runs and total uplift for other runs

  •  The initial uplift in ModeUp=0 for blank runs (wher no .RST2 is input initailly). The total uplift that occurs over time='notch' for runs where a .RST2 file is input.

 49

 notch

 Duration of total uplift for uplift solver

  •  For runs where a .RST2 file is input this is time over which the uplift 'Sinit' in applied. i.e. the landform is uplifted at a rate of Sinit per notch time units (NOTE: TimeUp specifies when the uplift ends)

 32

 TAmp

 Amplitude of the cyclic uplift (m)

  •  For ModeUp=1,2,3 the amplitude of the cyclic uplift

 33

 TPeriod

 Period of the cyclic uplift (years)

  •  For ModeUp=1,2,3 the period of the cyclic uplift

 34

 TPhase

 Phase of the cyclic uplift (t=0, radians)

  •  For ModeUp=1,2,3 the initial phase of the cyclic uplift
