MPAS Version 8.2.1
This bugfix release addresses several issues in the MPAS-Atmosphere model
and in the MPAS infrastructure. Notable changes include:
-
Improved detection of an 'mpi_f08' module (PR #1202), as well as improved
detection of netCDF and PnetCDF library paths (PR #1203), in the top-level
Makefile. -
The addition of a missing dependency in the physics Makefile to correct
parallel build issues (PR #1204). -
Fixes to the CMake build files used by MPAS-JEDI (PR #1205).
-
Fixes to double-precision builds of MPAS-Atmosphere (PR #1207, PR #1208).
-
Correction of the calculation of height AGL used in the computation of 1-km
radar reflectivity fields (PR #1213). -
Correction of an issue that prevented the MYNN PBL scheme from being used
without also using the Thompson aerosol-aware microphysics (PR #1215). -
Fixes to allow MPAS-Atmosphere to be built without physics (i.e., dynamics-
only builds) (PR #1221). -
Various code cleanup and minor corrections (PR #1206, PR #1212, PR #1224,
PR #1226).
Acknowledgements: Thanks to Michael Toy (NOAA GSL) for first identifying the error
in the calculation of the height AGL array that affect the 1 km radar reflectivity fields.
