LDT change log

This patch release includes updates r6323:6606.

  • Merge NU-WRF into LDT public 7.1

    I merged updates through 3774 from NU-WRF's ^/code/branches/features/v8_wrf371merge into LDT's ^/tools/ldt/7/public7.1 branch.

    These updates consist of:

    • Added gfortran support for LDT.

  • Write pblh only when running Noah-MP.3.6

  • Add Jossy Jacob's mercator updates

    This adds support to reproject latlon parameter data onto a Mercator LIS running domain.

LIS change log

This patch release includes updates r6563:6601.

  • Update internal testcases

    I added and/or updated GrADS descriptor files for the LIS domain and parameter data files.

  • Merge NU-WRF into LIS public 7.1

    I merged updates through 3774 from NU-WRF's ^/code/branches/features/v8_wrf371merge into LIS' ^/7/public7.1 branch.

    These updates consist of:

    • Bug fix: Set value for noah271_struc(n)%forcing_ch.

      This was used in WRF-LIS coupling without initialization.

    • Bug fix: Set value for noah32_struc(n)%forcing_ch.

      This variable was used in WRF-LIS coupling without being initialized.

    • Bug fix: Set value for noah33_struc(n)%forcing_ch.

      This was used in WRF-LIS coupling without being initialized.

    • Bug fix: noah36_struc(n)%forcing_ch now set to 1.

      This variable was used in WRF-LIS coupling without being set.

    • Copied GFORTRAN configure template from older lis directory.

  • Merge tools/ldt/7/public7.1 into 7/public7.1

    I manually merge r6594 from tools/ldt/7/public7.1 into 7/public7.1.

    Add Jossy Jacob's mercator updates

    This adds support to reproject latlon parameter data onto a Mercator LIS running domain.

Source Code

LIS change log

This patch release includes updates r6541:6562.

These updates consist of:

  • Correct output units for exchange coefficients

    The units for the exchange coefficients specified in the calls to register_dataEntry and LIS_diagnoseSurfaceOutputVar should be m/s.

    The following variables were corrected.

    LIS_MOC_CH
    LIS_MOC_CM
    LIS_MOC_CHFORC
    LIS_MOC_CMFORC
    LIS_MOC_CHV
    LIS_MOC_CHB
    LIS_MOC_CHLEAF
    LIS_MOC_CHUC
    LIS_MOC_CHV2
    LIS_MOC_CHB2

  • Return after setting soiltyp = -9999

  • Register the reset_RFE2gdas routine

Source Code

LIS change log

This patch release includes updates r6519:6540.

These updates consist of:

  • Fix ringtime in MERRA2 reader

    The ringtime variable (which indicates when to read the next forcing file) in the MERRA2 reader was a scalar value. This resulted in only the outermost nest of a nested run updating its forcing data.

    ringtime was moved into the merra2_struc to provide support for nesting.

  • Fix ringtime in MERRA-Land reader

    The ringtime variable (which indicates when to read the next forcing file) in the MERRA-Land reader was a scalar value. This resulted in only the outermost nest of a nested run updating its forcing data.

    ringtime was moved into the merraland_struc to provide support for nesting.

  • Fix registration of VIC PET output variables

    I fixed the register_dataEntry calls for these variables

    LIS_MOC_VIC_PET_SATSOIL
    LIS_MOC_VIC_PET_H2OSURF
    LIS_MOC_VIC_PET_SHORT
    LIS_MOC_VIC_PET_TALL
    LIS_MOC_VIC_PET_NATVEG
    LIS_MOC_VIC_PET_VEGNOCR

    When calling the register_dataEntry routine for a LSM variable, such as LIS_MOC_VIC_PET_SATSOIL, add model_patch=.true. to the arguments.

    call register_dataEntry(LIS_MOC_LSM_COUNT,LIS_MOC_VIC_PET_SATSOIL,&
                        LIS_histData(n)%head_lsm_list,&
                        n,2,ntiles,(/"kg/m2 ","kg/m2s"/),1,(/"-"/),&
                        2,1,1,model_patch=.true.)
