[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)
