v0 diagnostic ice cloud fraction needs to be ported to v1 #1609

Open bogensch opened 2 years ago

bogensch commented 2 years ago

The diagnostic ice, precipitation, and total cloud fractions introduced in PR #1307 for v0 were never converted to v1. This has no effect on the model solution thus is currently low priority given the current v1 campaign, but v1 will eventually want to have this for diagnostic purposes. In addition, corresponding PR #1334 will also need to be converted.

Are these different than the variables cldfrac_tot, cldfrac_ice and cldfrac_liq we have in SCREAM?

bogensch commented 2 years ago

cldfrac_liq is the same as the liquid cloud fraction diagnostic added in PR #1307, though cldfrac_tot and cloudfrac_ice are different than the definition added in that PR.
