3) Updates to QUICKPLOT

Restart Changes: none


==========================================================================
25May2016, Takacs,    CVS Tag: Heracles-5_2 (AKA: Heracles-5_2_BETA_1MOPS, non-zero diff to Heracles-5_1)
                       Module: GEOSagcm
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Updates to 2-Moment Microphysics
2) Revert back to Single-Moment Microphysics of e5131_fp (Ganymed-4_1),but with fixed bug in PRECIP3 argument list
3) Merge LAND with tag: SM-LDASsa_m3-16_0_p2_CatchCatchCN_for_MERRA3
4) Fix to CO2 Emission Files
5) Merge to incorporate Yury's Heracles-4_3_UNSTABLE-CICE_thermo (zero diff when running DataSeaIce)
6) Changed default for BKGAVE in Regular REPLAY to (2/3)xREPLAY_FREQUENCY (Nominally 4 hours)
7) Fixed averaging interval related to BKGAVE in Regular REPLAY (bug caused -3hr endpoint to be omitted in average)
8) Fixed bug in GWD Mid-Layer GeoPotential Height Calculation
9) Updates to QUICKPLOT
10) Updates to MAPL
11) Updates to GMI
12) Changed ROTATE from TRUE to FALSE for Dump_&_Splash WIND INCREMENTS in DyCorGridComp
13) Updates to fvcore_layout.rc (defaults to so-called "2b3b" case based on H52 Forecast Layout Experiments)
14) Updates to sw_core.F90 and tp_core.F90 associated with fvlayout "2b3b"
15) Changed Defaults to Regular REPLAY Grid Transforms within MKIAU Source Code to BiLinary Interpolaton:
            BKG2ANACNSRV: 0 ( Note: Conservative Transformation creates Non-Wavenumber 1 Winds at Poles )
            ANA2BKGCNSRV: 0 ( Note: Conservative Transformation creates Non-Wavenumber 1 Winds at Poles )
16) NOTE: Lat/Lon version of GEOSagcm no-longer regresses.  Last known version which regresses is Heracles-4_3
          Investigation still in progress to determine cause.

Restart Changes: none


==========================================================================
12Jan2016, Takacs,    CVS Tag: Heracles-5_1 (non-zero diff to Heracles-5_0)
                       Module: GEOSagcm
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Updates to CO emissions
2) Updates to GMIchem_GridComp
3) Updates to TR_GridComp
4) Default to Use SST Cool Layer
5) Changed Defaults for SST and Regular REPLAY Grid Transform parameteres within AGCM.rc:
           INTERPOLATE_SST: 0 or 1 ( Defaults are now model decisions based on grid resolution comparisons )
              BKG2ANACNSRV: 0 or 1 ( Defaults are now model decisions based on grid resolution comparisons )
              ANA2BKGCNSRV: 0 or 1 ( Defaults are now model decisions based on grid resolution comparisons )

        Additional Imports to: tr_import_rst (Bootstrappable)


==========================================================================
07Dec2015, Takacs,    CVS Tag: Heracles-5_0
                       Module: GEOSagcm
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Updates to 2nd-moment microphysics
2) Updates GMIchem_GridComp to tag: Heracles-UNSTABLE_GMI as of 10Nov2015
3) Update  to tag: mat-HU-FixRRTMGLW-v_1 to fix regression issue in RRTMG
4) Updates to QUICKSTAT to compute Confidence
5) Updates to QUICKPLOT
6) Fixed Reverse Order Argument List error for cloudnew.F90 (wrt: VFALLRN & VFALLSN)
7) Implemented RASPARAM.F90 and CLDPARAM.F90 for clarity. (zero-diff)
8) Updated DUST Optical Tables from v14.2 to v15.3
   Note: This change affects ALL Emission Types: OPS, MERRA2, PIESA, etc.
   The only way to get the original MERRA2 emission files is to run with the MERRA2 Tag.
9) Fixed SS_GridComp to maskout emissions over Great Lakes and Capsian Sea.
10) Changed Default Parameters:  SYNCTQ = 1    (ON)
                                 PRECIPRAD = 1 (ON)
                                 CLDMICRO  = 2MOMENT
11) Changed Single-Moment MicroPhysics behavior. (Note: Default is 2-Moment)

Restart Changes: none

Running Heracles 5.3

  • Heracles 5.3 Quick Start: This page describes the minimum steps required to build and run GEOS-5 Heracles 5.3 on NCCS discover and NAS pleiades. You should successfully complete the steps in these instructions before doing anything more complicated.

Heracles 5.3 Documentation

  • Hierarchical structure: Below is a (partially folded) view of the Heracles 5.3 hierarchy where each node is a GridComp. Some of the nodes are folded (marked with a circle at the end) for clarity - clicking the composite node reveals the sub-nodes.
