How to use it?

In a 1D rcm1d run

The TPM is activated in callphys.def with

calltherm = .True.

Remember to also turn off the convective adjustment scheme to use only one parametrisation of convection

calladj  = .True.

Then, several options may be used to tune the model

dvimpl               = .False.
dqimpl               = .True.
r_aspect_thermals    = 2.0
tau_thermals         = 0.0
betalpha             = 0.9
afact                = 0.9
fact_epsilon         = 1.e-4
alpha_max            = 0.7
fomass_max           = 0.5
pres_limit           = 1.e3
nu                   = 0.0


In a 3D DYNAMICO run
