open TELEMAC-MASCARET The mathematically superior suite of solvers

Hello,

I'm having some doubts about the tracers units:
1- looking at forum it is asked:
'The question is: does Telemac use this units somewhere in the code or is it important to have this right or is this just a name given?'
Reply:'The units is just here for the post-processing....'

2- taking a look at page 8 of 'Use of TELEMAC software system as a technical modelling tool for coastal zone development studies' by Yvon Mensencal it is stated that the tracers units are in g/l.

So the parameter 'VALUES OF THE TRACERS AT THE SOURCES' should be in g/l ?

Thanks
Ana

Hello,

It has no importance unless you have active tracers, as temperature (then you need °C) and salinity (then you need g/l).
