Enhanced weathering

Enhanced weathering module based on Strefler et al. (2018). Additional forcing data is needed: amount (g/m2/yr) and diameter (106 m) of grains of basalt and forsterite).

To activate (in PARAM/run.def)

ENHANCED_WEAT=y
# where can the input data be found:
EW_BASALT_MASS_FILE=NMIP_agricultural_input.nc
EW_BASALT_SIZE_FILE=NMIP_agricultural_input.nc
EW_FORSTERITE_MASS_FILE=NMIP_agricultural_input.nc
EW_FORSTERITE_SIZE_FILE=NMIP_agricultural_input.nc

Remark: The minerals are applied at once in the last time step of the year.
