Integrated TC in ClimaAtmos #584

Closed yairchn closed 2 years ago

yairchn commented 2 years ago

Purpose

Integration of the EDMF hosting code in Clima atmos and changing the mean and updrafts equations. We are doing so by moving (copying) the src and driver from TC.jl to CA so that we can use the compressible host model in CA. The end goal is to retire TC.jl (not now though).

Cost/Benefits/Risks

Cost - time it takes for porting the code from TC.jl to CA; added dependencies in CA Benefits - Ability to avoid working with releases in TC.jl, using CA compressible model (not building one in TC). Risks - Compiling CA might be slower. Code duplication with TC.jl for a period of time until TC.jl is retired.

People and Personnel

(@ the personnel required/requested to implement the software solution)

Components

Step 1: move TC src and driver to CA #583 Step 2: Add addition TC cases to maintain behavior #590 Step 3: Add update pressure from GM density in update_aux (prep for compressible) #599 Step 4: compute env w based on grid mean and updrafts in update_aux (prep for compressible no. 2) #641 Step 5: Run compressible GABLS (turbulence only) in CA (explicit solver - slow) - compare results #668 Step 6: add the EDMF filter into CA callbacks #678 Step 7: Unify compressible flag in TC and CA components #683 Step 8: Run compressible Bomex (convection and turbulence) in CA - we found that this requires ignoring the dycore w when backing out the environment w. Step 9: Make Sure that the initial state is a discreetly balanced - PR #724. Step 10: Change updraft variable to total energy (consistent only in a compressible model) - PR #718 Step 11: Add implicit solver for EDMF with energy as updraft variable see issue #789

Results and deliverables

Compressible Bomex simualtion Compressible implicit Bomex simulation + test Compressible implicit Bomex simulation with energy as updraft / environment variable + test

Proposed Delivery Date - Sept 15

I'm closing this issue. It went stale as we are mostly tracking the work via SDI https://github.com/CliMA/ClimaAtmos.jl/issues/949 and SDI https://github.com/CliMA/ClimaAtmos.jl/issues/789
