hello all,<br>
<br>
we have made some updates to the DART Manhattan release.<br>
if you do an 'svn update' you will get the following changes. <br>
(this list is also at the end of the CHANGELOG file in the top level
DART dir).<br>
<br>
as always, email <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:dart@ucar.edu">dart@ucar.edu</a> with any questions or problems.<br>
<br>
thanks!<br>
nancy for the entire dart team<br>
<br>
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<br>
<br>
- Fix a debug message in the MPAS ATM model which might have caused
a buffer<br>
overflow crash when formatting a message for a larger ensemble size.<br>
<br>
- Update the ROMS shell scripts to support PBS, SLURM, as well as
LSF.<br>
Update the ROMS model_mod html documentation.<br>
<br>
- Update the default CAM-FV input.nml to have more realistic values<br>
for the highest observation assimilated, and for where the ramp
starts<br>
that decreases the increments at the model top. If running with a
higher<br>
model top than the default check these items carefully.<br>
<br>
- Fixed variable type for 'time' variables we create in diagnostic
files<br>
<br>
- Miscellaneous minor Bug fixes: <br>
- Print format wider for fractional levels in threed_sphere
locations<br>
- Fixed a deallocate call at program shutdown time<br>
- Fixed an indexing problem computing cam-fv U_WIND observations
if the<br>
observation used HEIGHT as the vertical coordinate (very
unusual).<br>
- Fixed grid creation bug in a test program used with
model_mod_check.<br>
Now uses correct spacing for grids in the x,y coordinates.<br>
- Fixed an allocate problem in a test interpolate routine.<br>
<br>
- Add surface pressure to the default state list in the wrf
work/input.nml<br>
<br>
- developer_tests/test_dart.csh can run PMO for more models.
required<br>
updates to the work/input.nml in several directories (wrf, cm1, POP,<br>
mpas_atm) to match the current namelist.<br>
<br>
- several model_mod_check programs were combined into a single
version<br>
that allows for selection of individual tests. many of the
input.nml<br>
models/xxx/work/input.nml files have either had a
&model_mod_check_nml<br>
section added or updated to match the updated interface.<br>
<br>
- the DART QTYs are now available via the state structure in the wrf
<br>
and clm model_mods.<br>
<br>
- support the NAG compiler better. (contact <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:dart@ucar.edu">dart@ucar.edu</a> for more<br>
help if you want to use this compiler. some hand work is still
needed.)<br>
<br>
- streamlined the debug output from the state_structure_info() call
to<br>
avoid replicating information that was the same for all variables.<br>
<br>
- minor formatting change to the dart log file output for the list
of<br>
observation types being assimilated, evaluated, and using
precomputed<br>
forward operators.<br>
<br>
- fixed an uninitialized variable in the BGRID model code in a
routine<br>
that isn't normally used.<br>
<br>
- Updated the threed_sphere location module documentation with some
usage<br>
notes about issues commonly encountered.<br>
<br>
- Fixed an incorrect test when printing out a log message describing
if the<br>
inflation would be variance-adaptive or not.<br>
<br>
- Change the location of the POP MDT reference file to be relative
to the <br>
current run directory and not an absolute file location on cheyenne.<br>
<br>
- Make the ROMS, CM1, and POP model_mod log namelist information to
the <br>
namelist log file and not the main DART log file.<br>
<br>
- Updated several html documentation files, including the
template/model_mod.html<br>
which describes the current model_mod required interfaces.<br>
<br>
- Updated the instructions for the GSI to DART obs converter to
suggest some<br>
needed compiler flags in certain cases.<br>
<br>
- Updated the location module test programs.<br>
