RAMS 6.3.03 updates - code notes

  • Set IMONO=1 in radvc.f90 to turn the monotonic flux limiter back on. We should still check this to see if there are bugs in this routine related to density and pressure. But some results show this performs better along boundaries and helps prevent aerosol concentrations from getting too high in unusual circumstances.

  • Set all “A80” string limits related to namelists to “A256”. This limit was causing random segmentation faults if users used really long strings in the RAMSIN namelist.

  • In the BULK microphysics only, I separated out microphysics process rate variables for condensation/deposition and evaporation/sublimation. So, for example, VAPCLDT is now the vapor deposition growth only for cloud water categories (+ values only). EVAPCLDT is the evaporation of the cloud water category only (+ values only). In past RAMS versions, VAPCLDT was the net of vapor growth and evaporation summed over time between output writes (+ or – values with + being net growth and – being net loss). The new evaporation process rate is given a positive value now, not negative. Also added process rates FREEZINGT and MELTINGT that are totals computed in association with the computation of the latent heating rates that are associated with net phase changes in the microphysics. NOTE THAT THESE CHANGES ONLY APPLY TO THE BULK MICROPHYSICS AND NOT THE HUCM BIN MICROPHYSICS.

  • Eliminated the RAMS version directory below /src so that we do not have to keep changing the version directory name on Github. This is also reflected in the “include.mk” file by removing the “RAMS_VERSION” flag since it’s no longer needed.

  • Small bounds checking change in the aerosol deposition code.
