Hi Developers!

I looked at the road conditions that are used in the subroutine RODCON in lib_therm.f. Dew is numbered 5 while ice/snow is 3 and mix water/snow is 4. During each output period, the highest road condition is chosen. Why is dew so high? Shouldn't ice/snow be more serious and chosen before dew?

Best wishes,
Esben




Hi Esben,

It is like that because dew on a surface under 0°C causes black ice. And black ice is worst than ice/snow or water/snow.

Cheers,

Miguel
