add salinity effect in sfclay and sfclayrev (#1963)
TYPE: enhancement KEYWORDS: salinity effect, saturation vapor pressure, ocean SOURCE: internal DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES: Problem: The salinity effect of ocean is not considered when computing saturation vapor pressure. Solution: Add the effect in the MM5 and revised MM5 surface layer schemes. The 0.98 factor (set in the code as SALINITY_FACTOR) is an approximation for salinity of 34 part per thousands, and applied for saturation specific humidity. Here the approximation is applied to saturation mixing ratio. The lakemask field is used to exclude this effect from inland lakes. LIST OF MODIFIED FILES: M phys/module_sf_sfclay.F M phys/module_sf_sfclayrev.F M phys/module_surface_driver.F TESTS CONDUCTED: - Tested in many tropical cyclone cases. - The Jenkins tests are all passing. RELEASE NOTE: Add salinity effect in MM5 and revised MM5 surface layer schemes. The effect is lower the saturation vapor pressure over ocean by about 2%.
