PaHM: Next steps in development

[pvelissariou1]

• Code cleanup to allow for:
  Additional grid/mesh definitions
  Incorporation of additional TC models
  Incorporation of all TC models into asymmetric vortex formulation
• Enhance the build system to include more general CMake platform modules
• Enhance the build/compilation system to to accept user defined compiler flags (possibly shared between coupled components, e.g., CoastalApp)

• Working on fixing the missing RRP issue in both the "best" and the "forecast files
  - The calculation (estimation) of missing RRP requires the presence of R34, but that field is missing at some times. Do we need to estimate R34 as well or we need to drop the offending lines?
• Working on fixing the timestamp issues by considering both the forecast hour and the minutes if available
• Fixed other minor issues on creating user defined output and log files
• Working on adding new more debug outputs if requested by the user

Testing the RRP solution implementation against best track files for the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Expected incusion to PaHM and SCHISM/PaHM by 09/20/2023. Complete details will follow.

Further development of PaHM includes:

1. Incorporation of the RPR solution to address the issue of missing data for the last closed isobar radius
2. Incorporation of the parametric rainfall into the model
3. Code cleanup and finalizing of additional format inputs for best track data

Start day: 27/11/2023

To do:

1. Allow PaHM to generate data for other grid/mesh formats
2. Incorporate atmospheric boundary layer model
3. Incorporate additional parametric models

[pvelissariou1]

The RPR solution is incorporated.
The parametric rainfall is in the works.

The modifications/changes affect both parametric models in PaHM. Expected completion 08/12/2024.

Need to push updates to SCHISM repo. This will be done immediately after the simulations of PaHM+Ocean+Waves have completed successfuly. A lot of changes have been incorporated into PaHM and need to make sure that it doesn't break SCHISM.

• The issue with radius of outer closed isobar has been resolved for most cases (>98%). Still there cases in the input track files with missing data (all radii are missing). For these type of cases may be an interpolation between the previous and the next 6-hr steps will do the trick.
