Dear RegCNET users,

I am trying to activate slab ocean model in regcm. In the namelist.in very few parameters related to slab-ocean module are given. i,e.

!
! SLAB Ocean model, or q-flux adjusted mixed layer model (default configuration
!
&slabocparam
do_qflux_adj = .false., ! Activate SLAB Ocean model surface fluxes adjust
                           ! from an already created climatology
do_restore_sst = .true., ! Create during the run the SLAB Ocean model surface
                           ! fluxes climatology to be used in a subsequent run
sst_restore_timescale = 5.0D0, ! Time interval in days in building the
                                 ! q-flux adjustment
mixed_layer_depth     = 50.0D0, ! Depth in meters of the Ocean mixed layer.
/

I want to know clear distinction between the first two parameters. do_qflux_adj and do_restore_sst. Suppose if I want to run regcm with slab ocean model, what parameters should be set to true.
