Add LAI to the static information. #1255
base: develop
Are you sure you want to change the base?
Conversation
core_init_atmosphere/mpas_init_atm_static.F added horizontal interpolation of the monthly climatological LAI.
- replaced config_sfc_albedo with config_albedo_update (this name is more descriptive of its meaning) - added config_lai_update - added new variable lai12m: monthly climatology for leaf area index
- use separate alarms for albedo, lai and greenness updating, controlled by config_albedo_update, config_lai_update and config_greeness_update - set alarms only if config_albedo_update, config_lai_update and config_greeness_update are not equal to 'none' - instead of one physics_update_surface call to physics_update_surface_albedo, physics_update_surface_lai and physics_update_surface_greeness. This is needed because of some specifics for each variable.
instead of one physics_update_surface do three subroutines: physics_update_surface_albedo, physics_update_surface_lai and physics_update_surface_gvf

The fields isltyp
, ..., greenfrac
are added in the "input" and "restart" streams through inclusion of the "invariant" stream (see line 532 and line 581/593). So I think what we want is to add lai12m
to the "invariant" stream.

@mgduda Michael, I am sorry I don't understand this comment. I tried to follow albedo12m. Could you please give me more information or make the change as you see needed?

Just a suggestion, but we could move the definition of config_lai_data
up around line 177 so that it's nearer to the definition of config_vegfrac_data
and generally within the set of options for selecting which datasets to use.
This PR adds monthly climatology for leaf area index to the static information in core_init_atmosphere.
It also introduces separate alarms for updating three surface variables: albedo, lai and greenness, in core_atmosphere.
The alarms will be created only if config_albedo_update, config_lai_update and config_greeness_update /= 'none'. The default values for these flags is 24 hours.
