LIS change log

This patch release includes updates r6519:6540.

These updates consist of:

  • Fix ringtime in MERRA2 reader

    The ringtime variable (which indicates when to read the next forcing file) in the MERRA2 reader was a scalar value. This resulted in only the outermost nest of a nested run updating its forcing data.

    ringtime was moved into the merra2_struc to provide support for nesting.

  • Fix ringtime in MERRA-Land reader

    The ringtime variable (which indicates when to read the next forcing file) in the MERRA-Land reader was a scalar value. This resulted in only the outermost nest of a nested run updating its forcing data.

    ringtime was moved into the merraland_struc to provide support for nesting.

  • Fix registration of VIC PET output variables

    I fixed the register_dataEntry calls for these variables

    LIS_MOC_VIC_PET_SATSOIL
    LIS_MOC_VIC_PET_H2OSURF
    LIS_MOC_VIC_PET_SHORT
    LIS_MOC_VIC_PET_TALL
    LIS_MOC_VIC_PET_NATVEG
    LIS_MOC_VIC_PET_VEGNOCR

    When calling the register_dataEntry routine for a LSM variable, such as LIS_MOC_VIC_PET_SATSOIL, add model_patch=.true. to the arguments.

    call register_dataEntry(LIS_MOC_LSM_COUNT,LIS_MOC_VIC_PET_SATSOIL,&
                        LIS_histData(n)%head_lsm_list,&
                        n,2,ntiles,(/"kg/m2 ","kg/m2s"/),1,(/"-"/),&
                        2,1,1,model_patch=.true.)

These updates consist of:

  • Correct the upboundLognormal routine in PobjFunc_Mod.F90

    This routine did not correctly set the mean and stddev variables.

Land Information System (LIS) Public Release 7.1rp3 (r6457:6485)

LIS change log

This patch release includes updates r6457:6485.

These updates consist of:

  • Moved the LIS grid-mapping routine for being able to subset select datasets (depending on data format) to the core directory.

  • Correct the way ESMF and MPI is initialized

    LIS was calling ESMF_VMGet to determine whether it had a valid virtual machine. However, calling ESMF_VMGet before calling ESMF_Initialize leads to a crash on some systems.

    I corrected the logic used to initialize ESMF and MPI.

  • Remove the "if LIS_masterproc" checks from several of the write statements

  • Remove check for USGS PET directory

    Fortran does not specify how the inquire statement should work with directories.

  • Correct noah%rainf in noah271_f2t

    When forcing snowfall is selected (LIS_FORC_Snowf%selectOpt == 1) snowfall (snowf) should be added to noah%rainf. However, pcp+snowf was added to noah%rainf.

  • Implemented LIS endrun call when a USGS PET directory or file are missing or are incorrect.

  • Correct description strings for Rainf and TotalPrecip

  • Fix the pcp metforcing field

    The diagnoseForcingOutput routine was adding snow to the pcp field (pcp = pcp + snow) whenever LIS_FORC_Snowf%selectOpt was 1. This is not correct. The intention was to create total precip for output; however, this updated the actual precip forcing field.

    I have created a local variable, totpcp, for creating a total precip field for output.
