This EPA_PXLSM_with_FDDA PR will add the Pleim-Xiu land surface model
codes (PR #1025) and the 3-D grid analysis nudging FDDA codes (PR #995)
to MPAS-A. This combination of codes from these two PRs is necessary to
maintain numerical stability during longer retrospective simulations by
utilizing grid nudging FDDA with the soil nudging used within the PX LSM.
The modifications in this PR have been successfully tested with the YSU
PBL, KF CPS, WSM6 MP, M-O surface layer, YSU GWDO, and RRTMG radiation
physics schemes.
This PR will also add the new physics suite called "epa_aq_reference"
(shown below) as an option for "config_physics_suite" (via
mpas_atmphys_control.F) and is suitable for retrospective air quality
simulations.
This PR is the last in the series of established EPA physics enhancements
implemented into MPAS-A. This EPA series consists of code modifications
to MPAS-A v7.3 found in pull requests #994, #995, #1002, #1003, #1010,
#1025, and this PR (and all of these PRs are required to enable the
"epa_aq_reference" physics suite options). Altogether, these EPA physics
enhancements to MPAS-A have been thoroughly tested and evaluated (e.g.,
Gilliam et al., 2021). Overview descriptions of these physics options
can also be found in the WRF-ARW technical document available at
https://opensky.ucar.edu/islandora/object/opensky:2898 and in an updated
PX-ACM-WRFV4.4-MPASv7.3.pdf document (attached to this PR).
New stream files added to streams.atmosphere:
(refer to PR #1025 for "soilndg" and PR #995 for "fdda")
New namelist.atmosphere options added under &physics:
config_physics_suite = 'epa_aq_reference' which sets:
config_microp_scheme = 'mp_wsm6'
config_convection_scheme = 'cu_kain_fritsch'
config_pbl_scheme = 'bl_acm'
config_gwdo_scheme = 'bl_ysu_gwdo'
config_radt_lw_scheme = 'rrtmg_lw'
config_radt_sw_scheme = 'rrtmg_sw'
config_radt_cld_scheme = 'cld_fraction'
config_sfclayer_scheme = 'sf_pxsfclay'
config_lsm_scheme = 'px'
config_fdda_scheme = 'analysis'
(refer to PR #1025 and PR #995 for additional new options)
New variables available for output from atmosphere_model:
(refer to PR #1025 and PR #995)
NOTE: These EPA_PXLSM_with_FDDA code changes to MPAS-A are based on the
12 December 2022 "develop" branch of MPAS v7.3.
