The solar constant
The solar constant is the (total) solar radiation (W/m2) received at one astronomical unit (au) from the Sun
Changing/setting the solar constant
This is an input that can be changed by setting the appropriate flag solaire (French for "solar") in config.def, e.g.:
solaire=1366.0896
Important: This will always be taken into account if running without the RRTM radiative transfert scheme, i.e. with
iflag_rrtm=0
If using RRTM then the solaire parameter is ignored as the solar constant is read from a specific input file (SOLARVOLCANOES.txt ?) unless
ok_suntime_rrtm=n
