I have committed in Landice, Saltwater, Openwater, SimpleSeaice and CICE4ColumnPhys gridcomps with the same LONGNAME corrections. |
Thanks @zhaobin74!! |

Marking this "ready for review" - still needs approval from the following teams: |

@gmao-rreichle Let me know if you'd like me to approve for @GEOS-ESM/land-team. I usually hold off as the approver of last resort only because my concern is usually "It builds, ship it!" I figure @rdkoster might be a bit more nuanced. 😄 |
Longwave radiation fluxes in Surface, Catch[CN], and Lake include only the absorbed and emitted portions of the fluxes and exclude the reflected portion. Variables are confusingly labeled "downwelling" and "upwelling/outgoing" throughout Surface, Catch[CN], and Lake. This PR fixes the corresponding LONG_NAME attributes of the Export and Import specs. Fortran variable names in the source code are not changed.
I did not look at the Landice and Saltwater GridComps. The @GEOS-ESM/landice-team and @GEOS-ESM/ocean-team may want to check their GridComps. If changes are needed, feel free to commit directly onto my branch, no need for a separate PR.
@gmao-jkolassa, please make sure these changes are copied into your CatchCTSMv5.1 GridComp branch.
The PR should be trivially 0-diff. Moreover, none of the impacted Exports are used in the standard HISTORY templates of the GEOSgcm_App, so the PR should have no impact on any of the current GEOS data products.
Net fluxes are not impacted because:
LW_NET = LW_UP - LW_DOWN = LW_ABSORBED - LW_EMITTED
To obtain upwelling longwave radiation from standard HISTORY output, use:
LW_UP = LW_DOWN - LW_NET = ( LW_ABSORBED / EMIS ) - LW_NET
