# MEDUSA Guide
Here are some explanations on how to use some functionalities of MEDUSA.
## Chlorophyll and light -- the different light settings of MEDUSA
NEMO-MEDUSA enables you to use different light-Chl configurations. \
NEMO can use the BGC model's Chl or not. The different options can be set in NEMO's namelist_cfg : namtra_qsr
```
!-----------------------------------------------------------------------
&namtra_qsr ! penetrative solar radiation (ln_traqsr =T)
!-----------------------------------------------------------------------
! ! type of penetration (default: NO selection)
ln_qsr_rgb = .true. ! RGB light penetration (Red-Green-Blue)
ln_qsr_2bd = .false. ! 2BD light penetration (two bands)
ln_qsr_bio = .false. ! bio-model light penetration
! ! RGB & 2BD choices:
nn_chldta = 3 ! RGB : Chl data (=1) or cst value (=0)
cn_dir = '/work/n01/shared/julpal/ANCIL4.2/' ! root directory for the chlorophyl data location
!___________!_________________________!___________________!___________!_____________!________!___________!__________________!__________!_______________!
! ! file name ! frequency (hours) ! variable ! time interp.! clim ! 'yearly'/ ! weights filename ! rotation ! land/sea mask !
! ! ! (if <0 months) ! name ! (logical) ! (T/F) ! 'monthly' ! ! pairing ! filename !
sn_chl ='merged_ESACCI_BIOMER4V1R1_CHL_REG05', -1. , 'CHLA' , .true. , .true. , 'yearly' , 'weights_reg05_2_eorca1_bilinear.nc' , '' , ''
/
```
The different possibilities are :
1. NEMO sees a flat constant chl : \
- set `ln_qsr_rgb` to `.true.`
- and `nn_chldta` to 0
2. if you want NEMO to see a climatology : \
- set `ln_qsr_rgb` to `.true.`
- and `nn_chldta` to 1 or 2 (1 for surface chl climatology; 2 for 3D chl climatology)
- Fill `sn_chl` and `cn_dir` to point to the right chl climatology file.
3. For NEMO to see MEDUSA's chl : \
- set `ln_qsr_rgb` to `.true.`
- and `nn_chldta` to 3
4. For NEMO light and MEDUSA's Chl to be fully and properly coupled :
- set `ln_qsr_bio` to `.true.` instead of `ln_qsr_rgb`.
That way, NEMO will use its own `trcopt` subroutine, and calculate the PAR carefully in 3 bands. \
{- ** WARNING ** -} : MEDUSA is not yet tuned for this option.
5. If you want MEDUSA to use NEMO's attenuated light : \
this option is to be found in MEDUSA's namelist : nammsa_ctl
```
&nammsa_ctl
ln_msa_carbchem = .true. !! activates Carbone cycle
ln_msa_avgqsr = .true. !! biology sees daily avg light
ln_msa_ccd = .false. !! reads ccd file to init ccd field.
ln_msa_preico2 = .false. !! atm co2 forced at pre-ind level
ln_msa_ukesm_cpl = .false. !! activate coupling in MEDUSA with UKESM.
ln_msa_omipdic = .false. !! 2 dic pre-ind and date-related
ln_msa_zmp = .false. !! switch to Tom's Oithona + 2 very fast detritus
ln_msa_noco2flux = .false. !! debug - cut sea-air co2 fluxes
ln_msa_debug = .false. !! add lots of debug print statements
ln_msa_nancheck = .false. !! checks if any nans in bio 3D fields
ln_msa_check_n_fix = .false. !! check and exceptionally fix crazy
!! values for DIC, ALK, T, and S.
!! avoids carb chem crashes
ln_msa_kill_medusa = .false. !! debug - no bio sources and sinks
ln_msa_no_detsink = .false. !! debug - poc don't sink
ln_msa_ice_frac = .true. !! mask light with ice fraction
ln_msa_nemo_qsr = .true. !! use 3D light field attenuated
!! from NEMO if TRUE
/
```
Set `ln_mas_qsr` to `.true.`
6. To couple light and chl without using NEMO's *all* *included* subroutine,
Simply do both 3. and 5. :
- set `ln_qsr_rgb` to `.true.`
- and `nn_chldta` to 3
- and `ln_msa_qsr` to `.true.`
