Updated YSU orographical gravity wave drag issue

  • If not using updated gwdo input (updated in WPS 4.7), gwdo stresses will be zero. It is recommended to updated the input via WPSv4.7; otherwise, apply this fix: (https://github.com/NCAR/MMM-physics/pull/20).
  • Set gwd_if_nonhyd=.false. in the &dynamics namelist to resolve a bug in the code for the new non-hydrostatic effect option.

Updated ShinHong PBL scheme

  • The YSU and ShinHong PBL schemes are now merged into a single, updated ShinHong PBL scheme.
  • The ysu_topdown_pblmix option has been renamed to shinhong_scu_mixing in this release. This option is compatible with YSU (shinhong_nonlocal_flux = .false.), but not with ShinHong (shinhong_nonlocal_flux = .true., which is the default setting in this release).

NoahMP opt_runsrf = 5 option

  • When using NoahMP and opt_runsrf = 5, the model will not restart correctly. An abort is likely.
