Analytic ICs only work with Kessler and Held-Suarez physics #254

Open nusbaume opened 4 months ago

What happened?

The constituent interface in the analytic Initial Conditions (IC) code is not well implemented due to the fact that it was brought in before the CCPP constituents object infrastructure. This can result in physics schemes outside of kessler and held_suarez_1994 not running properly, especially if they don't need water vapor or cloud water.

What are the steps to reproduce the bug?

Try running a new physics suite which doesn't explicitly ask for water vapor or cloud liquid water with analytic ICs turned on.

Extra info

I am planning to fix this bug when implementing a PR to resolve issues #168 and #224.
