Simple Land Model for CESM --- *** IN DEVELOPMENT *** --- please contact for more info. See supplemental information of https://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/abs/10.1175/JCLI-D-18-0812.1 for a description of SLIM physics. Implementation of SLIM into the main CESM trunk is ongoing. SLIM currently works with the CESM2.1 release, but must be downloaded from this repository until we finish implementing it properly into the main CESM code.

Drydep coupling for CAM #58

Open marysa opened 1 year ago

marysa commented 1 year ago

We currently pass dust fluxes up to the atmosphere, which SLIM gets from the SLIM input file. But for dry deposition, it doesn't look like the land model directly hands the atmospheric model a flux; rather, it looks like CAM is trying to figure out what the dry deposition should be, and from discussion with the CAM folks, it does this based on properties of the land surface. This isn't happening when coupled to SLIM. I haven't yet figured out exactly how CAM is doing this thus am not yet sure how to get it to work with SLIM.

Calling this both a bug an and enhancement because it runs without the drydep coupled, but it is probably leading to drift in the chemistry fields of the atmospheric model.
