[Ncep.list.fv3-announce] NEMSfv3gfs and FV3 git repository updates

[Jun Wang - NOAA Affiliate]

Dear all,

The NEMSfv3gfs and FV3 VLAB git repositories was just updated with Redmine
task #41232 <https://vlab.ncep.noaa.gov/redmine/issues/41232>:
Micriophysics options and related changes.

Following change were reviewed and committed to the repositories:

1. Thompson MP (2008) and WSM6 was added into the FV3. The interactions
between the microphysics and radiation, convection, and boundary mixing
process are addressed.

2. An option for GFDL MP was added to have better interaction between the
MP and the radiation process. The hydrospecies from the GFDL MP are fed
into the corresponding cloud related arrays in the radiation.

3. An identifier for different microphysics options was added through out
the code to improve the readability and consistency with the NCEP POST code.

4. the code was modified (gcycle.f) to have the climatology variability
included in the foundation temperature (Tf)

5. IO related changes:
i) an option was added to output log files.
ii) fsync option was added to make sure the files are synced to disk.
iii)cloud top and bottom pressure and cloud top temperature for low, mid
and high clouds are added in surface file, soill and cwork names are
changed to match with current names in operational nemsio files.

6) Two new regression tests: Thompson MP and WSM6 MP were added.


Thanks.
