To correct for the underestimation of net longwave flux absorbed by the building wall, RB2, in module_sf_urban.F

TYPE: Bug fix

KEYWORDS: Longwave flux, radiation/energy balance, Surface temperature, Urban climate, SLUCM

SOURCE: Parag Joshi (Brookhaven National Lab), Katia Lamer (Brookhaven National Lab)

DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES:
Problem:
The net long wave fluxes absorbed by the building walls is being underestimated due to multiplication of the emissivity twice in the equation. The command/lines that evaluate RB2 in the module_sf_urban.F (Lines 1300 and 1419 of WRF version-4.5.2) reflect the net long wave fluxes absorbed by building walls.

Solution:
The code has been corrected by referring to the equation A9 of in the article, Kusaka & Kimora 2004, Journal of Applied Meteorology.

ISSUE: For use when this PR closes an issue.
Fixes #2011

LIST OF MODIFIED FILES: module_sf_urban.F

TESTS CONDUCTED:

  1. The test can be conducted by running WRF with SLUCM with and without corrected module and quantify the values of RB2.
  2. It passed Jenkins tests.

RELEASE NOTE: Correcting the net long wave fluxes for application in modeling urban climate using Single Layer Urban Canopy Model (SLUCM). It slightly improved 2-m temperature in urban area.

…f_urban.F is underestimating the value by a factor of emissivty of the wall, EPSG, as it is multiplied twice. I corrected the equation in the aforementioned module.

@joshi994 Do you have a figure showing the difference in temperature or outgoing LW due to this bug fix?

@cenlinhe No, I don't have figures showing the difference in temperature or the LW flux as I am lacking computational resources to quantify the impact.

    Correct diffusion coefficients for tke in LES (#2034)

    TYPE: bug-fix

    KEYWORDS: Diffusion of tke

    SOURCE: internal (issue raised by Branko Kosovic)

    DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES:
    Problem:
    Reported in #2026 For km_opt=2, tke diffusion should be twice momentum diffusion, but was twice heat diffusion (three times larger). For km_opt=5 it was 3 times momentum diffusion instead of twice.

    Solution:
    xkmv and xkmh passed into diffusion routines for tke calls instead of xkhv and xkhh.

    ISSUE: For use when this PR closes an issue.
    Fixes #2026

    LIST OF MODIFIED FILES:
    modified:   dyn_em/module_diffusion_em.F

    TESTS CONDUCTED:
    1. LES case was run with shalconv sounding to verify the change.
    2. The Jenkins tests are all passing.

    RELEASE NOTE: km_opt=2 and km_opt=5 tke diffusion was reduced to one third its value to match theory.

    Final bug fixes and tuning for MYNN PBL in v4.6 (#2037)

    TYPE: bug fix + tuning

    KEYWORDS: MYNN EDMF

    SOURCE: Joseph Olson (NOAA-GSL)

    DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES:
    Problems:
    1. overly diminished TKE in stable PBL - always dropping to the lower limit
    2. negative mass flux area fractions found (rarely) with activation criteria change from flt to fltv.
    3. edmf diagnostics erroneously included rho.

    Solution:
    1. retuning of mixing lengths and stability function for momentum - mostly just limit changes.
    2. check for mf transfer of heat out of the lowest layer was modified
    3. removed rho.

    Add PXLSM change from PR-2023 (#2035)

    Pleim-Xiu LSM MODIS LCZ Compatibility & Surface Evaporation Update

    TYPE: bug fix & physics refinement

    KEYWORDS: MODIS, LCZ, P-X LSM, Latent Heat Flux

    SOURCE: Robert Gilliam & Jon Pleim, US EPA

    DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES:
    Problem:

    User indicated that the P-X LSM errored for MODIS LCZ 61 NUM_LAND_CAT configuration.
    Currently, we account for evaporation from transpiration, soil in both vegetated and non-veg parts, and wet leaves. But we only account for the latent heat effects on Tg from transpiration and evaporation from non-veg soil.
    This fix adds latent heat effects on Tg from soil in vegetated parts and from wet leaves.
    Fix for rare case where GRDFLX goes NaN because of a divide by zero based on a soil parameter when a water cell turns to sea ice.
    Solution:
    Logic checks in module_physics_init.F and module_sf_pxlsm.F were adjusted for 61 category inputs. P-X LSM data table, module_sf_pxlsm_data.F was updated for MODIS 61 categories. Default for LCZ 51-61 was set to MODIS urban class. We also added updates for the evaporation from vegetation and wet canopy.

    ISSUE:
    Fixes: #1965

    LIST OF MODIFIED FILES:
    M phys/module_physics_init.F
    M phys/module_sf_pxlsm.F
    M phys/module_sf_pxlsm_data.F

    TESTS CONDUCTED:

    - Tested 61 class LCZ with PX LSM for a 1 day simulation with updated codes. Ran base MODIS 21 class scheme with same code before and after LCZ update. The results were identical after a 24 hour simulation. This confirms updates do not impact other MODIS settings in the P-X LSM. The MODIS 21 was by nature not identical to the MODIS 61, but similar enough and differences follow underlying differences in MODIS datasets.
    - The Jenkins tests are all passing.

    RELEASE NOTE:
    Pleim-Xiu LSM is now compatible with 61 category MODIS LCZ landuse dataset. A mode of latent heat effects on Tg from vegetated parts and from wet leaves is added to Pleim-Xiu LSM.

    Fix issue with generalized compiler version output using the wrong flags (#2030)

    Fix issue with generalized compiler version output using the wrong flags

    TYPE: bug fix

    KEYWORDS: compile, version

    SOURCE: internal

    DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES:
    Problem:
    A generalized compile version check was proposed in #1987. This logic was implemented in #1942 but the originating logic contains a bug where the `-V` and `--version` flag commands' output is flipped.

    Solution:
    Use `-V` in the appropriate spot when `$status` is zero for the `-V` check, and respectively for the `--version` check.

    LIST OF MODIFIED FILES:
    M       compile

    TESTS CONDUCTED:
    1. With previous bad logic the compile log output shows a compiler error as the wrong flag is used to output version info. With the fix, the correct output now shows in the compile log.

    correct the logic to use specific humidity or mixing ratio directly (#2031)

    TYPE: bug fix

    KEYWORDS: real, use_sh_qv

    SOURCE: internal

    DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES:
    The logic to control whether specific humidity or mixing ratio is used instead of RH is wrong (PR-1959) when either SH or Qv is available. It is corrected in this PR.

    LIST OF MODIFIED FILES:
    M dyn_em/module_initialize_real.F

    TESTS CONDUCTED:

    Tested before and after this change. The data without SH is not affected, and the data with SH (EC model level data) is now used directly if use_sh_qv is set to true.
    The Jenkins tests are all passing.

    The net longwave flux absorbed by the building wall, RB2, in module_sf_urban.F is underestimating the value by a factor of emissivty of the wall, EPSG, as it is multiplied twice. I corrected the equation in the aforementioned module. (#2016)

    TYPE: Bug fix

    KEYWORDS: Longwave flux, radiation/energy balance, Surface temperature, Urban climate, SLUCM

    SOURCE: Parag Joshi (Brookhaven National Lab), Katia Lamer (Brookhaven National Lab)

    DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES:
    Problem:
    The net long wave fluxes absorbed by the building walls is being underestimated due to multiplication of the emissivity twice in the equation. The command/lines that evaluate RB2 in the module_sf_urban.F (Lines 1300 and 1419 of WRF version-4.5.2) reflect the net long wave fluxes absorbed by building walls.

    Solution:
    The code has been corrected by referring to the equation A9 of in the article, Kusaka & Kimora 2004, Journal of Applied Meteorology.

    ISSUE: For use when this PR closes an issue.
    Fixes #2011

    LIST OF MODIFIED FILES:
    M    module_sf_urban.F

    TESTS CONDUCTED:
    1. Tests were conducted by the LSM group at NCAR/RAL.
    2. It passed Jenkins tests.

    RELEASE NOTE: Correcting the net long wave fluxes for application in modeling urban climate using Single Layer Urban Canopy Model (SLUCM). It slightly improved 2-m temperature in urban area.

     Makes mp_zero_out affect only the 'moist' array. New separate flags for scalar/chem/tracer (#2010)

    TYPE:  bug fix

    KEYWORDS: mp_zero_out

    SOURCE: Ted Mansell (NOAA)

    DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES:
    This fixes the side-effect of mp_zero_out being applied not only to the moist array, but also to the scalar/chem/tracer arrays using the same threshold. This behavior would be unexpected from the documentation (readme) which indicated that only mixing ratios were affected.  This PR restricts mp_zero_out to the moist array and adds a separate mp_zero_out_all flag to apply it to all the arrays in the off chance that somebody needs to replicate the previous behavior.

    TESTS CONDUCTED:

    RELEASE NOTE: The behavior of the  mp_zero_out flag was changed affect only the 'moist' array, whereas previously it also caused the scalar/chem/tracer arrays to also be set to zero for values below threshold. Now there is a separate flag (mp_zero_out_all) if one wishes to reproduce the old behavior.

    CMake Build (#1896)

    TYPE: new feature

    KEYWORDS: CMake, build, make

    SOURCE: internal

    DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES:
    Problem:
    The current WRF build system is fragile with many pitfalls making it difficult for users to build & add to it without perpetuating existing problems. Many options exist across various layers of files, languages, and option control-flow.

    Solution:
    *This requires CMake version 3.20 or newer*
    A redesign of the build system from the ground up, maintaining the interfacing feel and knowledge accumulated in `arch/configure.defaults`. Condense option selection and control to single locations and as best as possible reduce the complexity of this control.

    This will be a work in progress as gaps are identified in reproducing the full functionality of the makefile build system. Currently only `em_real` and `em_ideal` have limited supported

    Brief how to use:
    As this is a work in progress, the original `configure` and `compile` scripts have been left as-is. Alongside them are now `configure_new` and `compile_new` which walk a user through a slightly similar experience of configuring & compiling WRF.

    A simple usage example would be:
    ```bash
    # Ensure you have cmake 3.20+ and configuration environment set up
    ./configure_new
    # Follow prompts to select configuration
    ./compile_new [-j N]
    ```

    Notable differences are :
    * Submodule code must be checked out beforehand and is not checked out during the compile process
    * Stanzas presented to a user are only those for which the compiler exists in the current environment
    * `!!` warnings appear for subconfigurations (MPI) that would not be supported in the current environment
    * DM/SM selection is now done after selecting a base configuration rather than an individual configuration # within a family of compilers
    * Compilation via `compile_new` does not take target to build as an argument - parallel `-j N` jobs still supported
    * Users do not need to set `NETCDF` or `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` variables
    * Base binaries do not have `.exe` extension, but symlinks are provided
    * Binaries, test setups, and everything else generated from compilation is copy-placed (not softlinked) to a separate location - default is `./install`. This means the equivalent `test/em_real/wrf.exe` is now at `install/test/em_real/wrf.exe`

    Bug fix for chem_opt=100 (vbs_het), racm_soa_vbs_het_kpp initialization (#2000)

    TYPE:bug fix

    KEYWORDS: racm_soa_vbs_het_kpp, aerosols

    SOURCE: Sergey Osipov (KAUST)

    DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES:
    Problem:
    The bug was introduced after splitting chem_opt 100 and 106. Currently, the chemistry initialization always calls for module_aerosol_soa_vbs routine, leaving the module_aerosol_soa_vbs_HET and corresponding data constants unitialized. As a result, aerosol concentrations are set to 0 after the first time integration (10**-16).

    To verify the bug fix, initialize WRF-Chem with non-trivial IC and save the next time step into nc. Check that values are non-trivial (e.g., so4aj, soila).

    Solution:
    Differentiate between module_aerosol_soa_vbs and module_aerosol_soa_vbs_het initialization routines

    The WRF-SoilN-chem: a dynamic ammonia emission model  (#1826)

    TYPE: enhancement

    KEYWORDS: ammonia emission, soil, dynamic, chem, gas phase.

    SOURCE: RenChuanhua and Huangxin, Nanjing University.

    DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES:
    Problem:
    The traditional monthly emission inventory cannot characterize the variation of ammonia emission intensity under different meteorological conditions, which leads to the simulation bias of secondary inorganic aerosol (such as nitrate and sulfate).

    Solution:
    The meteorological dependent dynamic emission factor (empirical function) is added to the emission file, which can calculate the ammonia emission rate according to hourly meteorological conditions and soil conditions.

    TESTS CONDUCTED:
    We compiled and ran the revised model to simulate 2019 East China region, and it can run smoothly, and the running speed has not decreased significantly. Compared with the traditional static emission inventory, the NH3 and nitrate concentrations obtained by dynamic model are obviously optimized.

    The code has passed the regression tests.

    RELEASE NOTE: This PR adds the meteorological dependent dynamic emission factor (empirical function) to the emission file, which may help correct simulation bias of secondary inorganic aerosol (such as nitrate and sulfate).

    Truncated Gaussian Heat and Smoke Release Formulation for WRF-Fire (#1926)

    TYPE: new feature

    SOURCE: Kasra Shamsaei (University of Nevada, Reno), Tim Juliano, Branko Kosovic (NCAR/RAL)

    DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES:
    Problem:
    The current fire heat distribution in the WRF-Fire does not conserve the heat fluxes from the fire. In this new scheme, the fire heat is conserved while distributed in the atmosphere. Additionally, the current smoke tracer release scheme in WRF-Fire was over-simplified.

    Solution:
    We introduce a Truncated Gaussian fire heat and smoke distribution scheme in WRF-Fire to overcome the mentioned limitation of fire heat distribution and have a higher fidelity model to release fire smoke tracers. Several namelist options are added in order for the user to choose the desired release scheme and adjust the parameter.

    KEYWORDS: subgrid clouds, mass flux, local diffusion

    SOURCE: Joseph Olson and Laura Fowler

    DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES:
    Problems:

    1. bug fix for momentum transport - minor impact
    2. underdiffusive in very stable conditions, especially high latitudes. This reveals itself as a cold bias at high latitudes in RRFS and the TKE is too often hitting the lower limit.
    3. cosmetic issue with cloud fractions in unsaturated grid cells with nonzero mixing ratios
    4. uninitialized scalars in unused subroutine planned for deletion

    Solutions (1-1 mapping with problems listed above):

    1. added the missing rho to the mass flux components in the u and v tridiagonal vectors.
    2. reverted the blending of the mixing lengths to same as HRRRv4 and tweaked some parameters to slightly increase the diffusion, mostly isolated to very stable conditions.
    3. relaxed some limits and combined the ice and snow cloud fraction check together.
    4. replaced uninitialized variables with variables that are initialized (changed names). Still plan to remove this subroutine after the downdrafts are fully revised (very close).

    TYPE: bug fix

    KEYWORDS: make, dependencies

    SOURCE: internal

    DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES:
    Problem:
    Occasionally and non-deterministically the WRF make compilation will fail due to erroneous depend rules or missing rules which result in essentially either (1) race conditions relying on modules to just happen to be compiled in time for use (2) when rules are followed, subsequent dependencies are missing and compilation fails or (3) complete recompilation of certain files.

    For instance, if one takes a look at a build log, one could see that module_mp_thompson.o is compiled twice - once as module_mp_thompson.o and again as ../phys/module_mp_thompson.o.

    This is not or rarely observed in the current regression tests because compilation is done three times as a stop-gap to avoid this issue.

    Solution:
    Add missing dependencies and fix malformed dependencies.

    LIST OF MODIFIED FILES:

    TESTS CONDUCTED:

    Use Qv or specific humidity in interpolation if they are available (#1959)

    TYPE: enhancement

    KEYWORDS: Qv, specific humidity, vertical interpolation

    SOURCE: internal

    DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES:
    Problem:
    In current real program, if either water mixing ratio (Qv) or specific humidity (SH) is available, it first converts it to RH, perform vertical interpolation using RH, and then compute Qv for the model input. Assuming Qv and SH are coming from other model's native levels, which tends to be plenty and generally true, it should not be necessary to go through this Qv (SH) to RH, and RH to Qv steps.

    Solution:
    Use the flag_qv and flag_sh to avoid using interpolated RH (even though RH is still computed and vertically interpolated). If flag_sh is 1, SH is converted to Qv or mixing ratio. Then Qv is interpolated vertically. A namelist, use_sh_qv, is added for user to choose to do so if SH or Qv data is available. A test case shows that there is some differences in the final Qv in the lower levels (a bit less Qv), particularly near terrain slopes.

    LIST OF MODIFIED FILES:
    M Registry/Registry.EM_COMMON
    M dyn_em/module_initialize_real.F
    M run/README.namelist

    TESTS CONDUCTED:
    - It doesn't affect existing option if RH is the only incoming variable. Tested the code, and it gives bit-for-bit results before and after this change.
    - The Jenkins tests are all passing.

    RELEASE NOTE: If water mixing ratio or specific humidity is available in the metgrid output, they can be used directly in vertical interpolation. Previously these fields are first converted to RH, interpolated vertically, and the water vapor mixing ratio is computed at model levels. Now one can use the new namelist, use_sh_qv = T to choose to use SH or Qv data directly.

    Add three new wind farm parameterizations and their ensembles  (#1944)

    TYPE: new feature

    KEYWORDS: wind farm parameterization, windfarm wake option

    SOURCE: Cristina Archer (UDEL), Yulong Ma(UDEL;GWA-MWF) and Ahmad Vasel-Be-Hagh(Tennessee Technological University)

    DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES:
    Three new wind farm parameterizations and their ensembles have been added. The key innovation of these parameterizations is their ability to directly account for the individual and overlapping sub-grid wakes of wind turbines within a wind farm. This feature was absent in the Fitch parameterization previously used in WRF. Additionally, the three parameterizations differ in their representation of wakes (e.g., top-hat or Gaussian) and their superposition methods (e.g., sum of squared deficits, squared velocities, or empirical fittings).
    The new namelist option windfarm_wake_model can be used to select one of the three wind farm parameterizations, the windfarm_overlap_method namelist option can be used to select the desired wake superposition method.
    We recommend to use the new wind farm parameterizations, particularly for coarse resolution, high turbine density, and wind directions aligned with the turbine columns.

    RELEASE NOTE:
    This PR adds options for three new wind farm parameterizations and their ensembles to account for the individual and overlapping sub-grid wakes of wind turbines within a wind farm. It is recommended to use the new wind farm parameterizations, particularly for coarse resolution, high turbine density, and wind directions aligned with the turbine columns. References:

    Update WRF develop with bug fix for LAI initialization for urban pxiel in Noah-MP (#1990)

    TYPE: bug fix

    KEYWORDS: LAI, urban, Noah-MP

    SOURCE: Cenlin He (NCAR/RAL)

    DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES:
    Problem:
    Before bug fix, Noah-MP (v4.5 and earlier versions) initializes leaf mass from the table parameter based on land type. However, this causes model crash if the LCZ capability is activated for urban pixel, because the LCZ land type index (51-61) is out of the MODIS or USGS land type number. This code is in module_sf_noahmpdrv.F file.

    Solution:
    Add an if-statement to assign default natural vegetation type for urban pixels with large land type index to represent rural portion of the urban pixel.

    This is related to a reported Noah-MP issue (NCAR/noahmp#104).

    LIST OF MODIFIED FILES:
    phys/noahmp/drivers/wrf/module_sf_noahmpdrv.F

    TESTS CONDUCTED:
    - The mods fix the problem
    - It passed the regression tests.

    RELEASE NOTE: This PR fixed a bug in Noah-MP for uninitialized leaf area index when LCZ is used.

    Make sure that USENETCDFPAR is not undefined (#1988)

    TYPE: bug fix

    KEYWORDS:  make

    SOURCE: Ted Mansell (NOAA/NSSL)

    DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES:
    Problem: Logic failure in top level Makefile with some versions of make (don't remember which) if USENETCDFPAR is undefined

    Solution:
    Making sure that at USENETCDFPAR is set to either 0 or 1 in the configure script fixes the issue.

    LIST OF MODIFIED FILES: configure

    TESTS: it passed regression tests.

    Update urban LCZ parameter table with more reasonable values (#1969)

    TYPE: enhancement

    KEYWORDS: urban, parameter

    SOURCE: Reported by Benjamin Fersch (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany), fixed by Alberto Martilli (CIEMAT, Spain)

    DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES:
    Problem:
    Current urban LCZ parameter table includes some unreasonable values for urban morphology (e.g., too large road width) and thermal properties (e.g., CAPR, CAPB, CAPG, AKSR, AKPB, AKPG). The LCZ classification is mainly a classification based on morphology, rather than thermal properties, so it should use the same thermal properties for different LCZs unless users have specific information from other local data sources.

    Solution:
    Use morphological parameters correspond to mid-range values of Stewart and Oke 2012, and all the LCZ classes have the same thermal properties.
