VERSION 6.3.00

  • Removing some unused variables in the calls to “predict” from the subroutine “hadvance”. Also
    tested out some preliminary code there to install the R-A-W filter. See notes in the code about
    installation. Testing shows that there are some issues in the installation that need a deeper look.
  • In micphys.f90, changed the minimum hydrometeor mixing ratio allowed from 1.e-12 to 1.e-9
    kg/kg. This value is used for positive definite application for hydrometeor mixing ratios and for
    determining if a subroutine is run within the microphysics. This prevents wasting runtime or
    nearly negligible amounts of condensate. Testing show that this threshold change has only minor
    impacts to solutions since these amounts are still quite small. However, runtime is sped up, and
    compressed file space is reduced.
  • Changed “r3min” and “rimin” within subroutine “make_autotab” from 0.01e-6 to 0.01e8g/cm3. This allows for lookup table space involving collisions between rain or ice with cloud
    water. This change prevents very small amounts of collector mass from collecting cloud water at
    a more rapid pace. In a stratocumulus test, this reduced the frequency of occurrence of small rain
    rates. This should be more realistic.
  • Small change in land surface model to prevent read-in soil moisture from exceeding the
    volumetric capacity that coincides with the LEAF/SiB soil classes.
