Adding the WRF-Solar EPS model #1547
Conversation
I think we need to talk about the MYNN changes. This looks like it will be a significant snag in our code universalization efforts because these new stochastic variables/arrays are not in CCPP. Either this alternative stochastic approach needs to be added to CCPP or it needs to be merged with the preexisting stochastic approach in the MYNN. I'm open to compromises, but it would take some convincing to have to carry two separate approaches. It looks like there is considerable overlap in the targeted impact of both stochastic approaches. |
Joe, I see what you mean. Perhaps these could be made optional arguments
and controlled within IF(PRESENT)
sections of the code.

That may be a work around but it's ugly. I'm trying to eliminate dycore-specific code so the same features/configurations are possible in all dycores, not just identical code. Maybe we can do this in the short term but it should be called out as a bad practice if code universalization is truly our goal. Is it possible to perturb these arrays (th, qv, qc, qi, etc) before they are input to the MYNN? It seems like these mods could be an interstitial routine. |
Joe, I think it may be possible to do the perturbations outside MYNN. Let me think about it a bit more and take a look at the code. |
Yes, we could consider doing all the schemes this way with a
perturbation-adding routine ahead
and subtracting it after. Haven't thought if there are any obstacles to
this yet. In principle
it may not even have to be scheme dependent, just in the driver, but tke
may be a special case for some.

I was able to implement the perturbations outside the MYNN module. No
changes in module_bl_mynn.F.
So we should be good to go with respect to MYNN.

All the variables are now perturbed in the drivers (instead of the parameterizations modules). |
@pedro-jm Can you verify that a restart run would produce identical results as a continuous run? What about runs produced by different number of processors? Can you also show some plots that may illustrate the spread you can produce with this method? |
@davegill |
The spread in the previous plots is for the global horizontal irradiance (GHI). |
@pedro-jm |
@weiwangncar @dudhia @pedro-jm Pedro, |
@pedro-jm Can you verify that a restart run would produce identical results as a continuous run? We also like to know if the code would produce identical results running it with one and multiple processors. You can do this with dmpar-compiled code running it with one and then multiple processors. |
@davegill @weiwangncar |
Does @pedro-jm need to turn off optimization for this test or can it work
optimized?

@pedro-jm @dudhia For restart test, optimized code should be the one to use. For bit-for-bit test, all we require is to use code without optimization. But if using optimized code gives you bit-for-bit results, it is good too. Many of our options can produce bit-for-bit results when using different number of processors. |
@pedro-jm @weiwangncar @dudhia
Yes, we tend to find that unoptimized builds produce bit-identical results more often.
|
I am able to get bit-identical results for the first 20 time steps I checked using 1 and 36 cores. However, I needed to change the PBL setting from 5 to 0 to get bit-identical results. Turning off the perturbations of this PR and using PBL 5 does does not produce bit-identical results. There are no changes for PBL 5 in this PR so It seems we should be fine here. |
There was an oversight on my side with the perturbations and the bit-identical results for 1 and 36 cores. I get bit-identical results when I perturb these modules: I DO NOT get bit-identical results when I perturb these modules: I cannot test this one: |
I forgot to document that the random perturbations are OK. |
Restarts currently do not provide bit for bit results. This is expected: we do not have the perturbations in the wrfrst files. And there might be issues with the initialization of the perturbations in the restart. We can put a check in checkamundo to stop if it is a restart run and we have this PR activated. Most of the users of this PR probably would not use restarts. |
@weiwangncar @dudhia |
I think it can go in and we sort out remaining issues later.

What are opinions? If you deem that this is not ready for a review, I
doubt anyone really has the time to make it ready for a review.

@pedro-jm @dudhia Can you add a bit more info to the RELEASE NOTE? Since that is the bit we are going to describe the update in the release. Information on which physics that may be perturbed. You can site Solar physics suite, but it may be explicitly stated here for general info. Also does the paper describe how the STOCHPERT.TBL is created? Some words about that and paper reference in the RELEASE NOTE will be useful. |
@weiwangncar |
@pedro-jm Thanks for the added info. I'm ok with this PR. It is good that the test results are recorded in this PR (restart, bit-for-bit), so that we can refer to this later. |
