2024.03

[2024.03] - 2024-08-22

Fixed

• FULL: Removes unused FREDB related code that was causing errors with SPEAR (#137)
• SHIELD: Fixed compile error from missing & in SHiELD coupler_main (#140)
• FULL: Fixes crashes when the do_flux namelist flag is false by adding conditionals for calls to coupler_flux_down_from_atmos, coupler_flux_up_to_atmos and coupler_flux_atmos_to_ocean (#134)
• SHIELD: Fixed a bug where data_override was not working correctly due to missing an argument during initialization. (#131)

2024.02

[2024.02] - 2024-07-11

Known Issues

• SPEAR errors have been reported due to a string length being exceeded during the fredb section of the code in the full coupler before initialization. (#136)

Added

• SIMPLE: Adds option to obtain concurrent drag and heat transfer coefficents via monin_obukhov functions. To control the new option, new namelist options have been added to the surface_flux_nml. The rough_scheme_ocean in ocean_rough_nml must be set to hwrf17 for the options to be effective. (#113)
  • do_iter_monin_obukhov controls whether to iterate over ocean with updated roughness length
  • niter_monin_obukhov controls the number of times to iterate
  • use_u10_neutral if true uses 10m neutral wind rather than the standard 10m wind to obtain rough_mom, rough_heat, and rough_moist

Changed

• FULL: A number of changes have been made as part of a refactorization effort for the full coupler.
  • A module full_coupler_mod has been added and contains routines and imports previously included in the coupler_main.F90 file. (#104)
  • A new type, coupler_clock type, has been added to handle the usage of any clocks used in the full coupler. This will cause changes in the output order of clock statistics (#106)
  • Updates the written version number to use the version in file_version.h (#109)
  • Refactors atmos_ice_land_chksum and ocean_chksum calls into new routines in full_coupler_mod (#114)
  • Refactors flux_ocean_to_ice and flux_ice_to_ocean calls into new routines in full_coupler_mod (#117)
  • Refactors exchange updates for ice as well as setting ice surface fields and unpacking ocean ice boundary into new routines (#118)
  • Refactors ice surface exchange grid generation into a new routine (#119)
  • Adds a coupler_chksum_type used to compute checksums when do_chksum is true and adds wrapper routines for atmos_tracer_driver_gather_data and sfc_boundary_layer (#123)
  • Refactors update_atmos_model_dynamics, update_atmos_model_radiation, update_atmos_model_down, and flux_down_from_atmos into new routines (#124)
  • Refactors update_land_model_fast, update_ice_model_fast, update_atmos_model_up, flux_up_to_atmos, and update_atmos_model_state into new routines (#125)
  • Refactors unpack_land_ice_boundary, update_ice_model_slow_and_stocks, and update_ocean_model into new routines (#127)
  • Refactors routines for writing intermediate restarts and summarizing timesteps (#128)
• SHIELD: data_override has been enabled for nest domains (#102)

Removed

• FULL: Two variables that enabled bugged behaviour from past releases have been removed, ex_u_star_smooth_bug and sw1way_bug. (#99)

2023.04.01

[2023.04.01] - 2024-06-20

Fixed

• SIMPLE COUPLER: Fixed issue where the anom_sst value used was not the correct value read in from the namelist. (#122)

2024.01

[2024.01] - 2024-05-03

Note: The 2024.01.01 and 2024.01.02 tags also point to this release, since the FMS patch releases should be used alongside this version of FMScoupler.

Added

• Adds option to run SHiELD with a gregorian calender (#105)
• Adds a diag_send_complete call for FMS diag_manager rewrite(#101)
• Adds documentation for the exchange grid (#98)

2023.04

[2023.04] - 2023-12-04

Added

• Adds additional output arguments thv_atm amd thv_surf to the surface_flux interface, as well as calls to xgrid and send data in order to use a new atmosphere boundary layer scheme.

Changed

• Routines using the data argument name explicictly have been updated to match corresponding FMS updates

2023.03

No code changes were made to the coupler this release cycle, just tagging current main to be used alongside the corresponding FMS release.

2023.02

[2023.02] - 2023-07-28

Fixed

• SHARED: Fixes crashes due to uninitialized namelist variables.

Changed

• Routines/variables from FMS have been updated to include a prefixes containing fms and the subdirectory/module name. This was necessitated by aliases being added to the 'global' libFMS.F90 module in FMS.
• FULL: Adds logic for PE assignment in order to allow for a data atmosphere to be used alongside the combined ice-ocean driver.

Removed

• Usage of fms_io and mpp_io has been deprecated. If using these modules in a model, you must compile both FMS and FMScoupler with the -Duse_deprecated_io CPP flag.
