Subcolumns not supported in P3 #358

Open AaronDonahue opened 4 years ago

AaronDonahue commented 4 years ago

The version of P3 in SCREAM does not support sub-columns, which is an option in the E3SM model. Given the scales we plan to run P3 we don't anticipate using sub-columns, however, it is possible that in the future someone may try to run coarse resolution with P3 and sub-columns which will most likely not cause an error but could cause unexpected behavior in the solution.

We should include a check in the init phase of P3 that errors out if P3 is active and sub-columns are turned on.

@AaronDonahue - can I assign this back to you? It is easy but I suspect you'll get to it before I will...

From @hassanbeydoun : "not sure about this. What kind of subcolumns are we thinking about?"

@PeterCaldwell , is this still an issue to keep open?
