Support for JANUS now that it has been renamed from AEOLUS.
Support for MORS now that it has been cloned to FormingWorlds.
PROTEUS now supports logging directly, so we don't need to rely on screen or awk.
Spectral file band information is passed to JANUS when required, since it was previously hardcoded.
Significant improvements to solver time-stepping, so that it can adapt depending on how fast the net radiative flux and the global melt fraction are evolving.
Increased default resolution in SPIDER, since using only ~100 levels was not properly resolving the uppermost layers of the MO. This is important when the planet reaches radiative equilibrium at small values of phi_global.
GridPROTEUS now uses a queueing system, so that we can request more grid points than the number of available cores.
Added a "dummy atmosphere" module, which is not (very) physical but is incredibly helpful for debugging.
Documentation updates, so that it should be a lot more readable.
Added functionality for killing PROTEUS when you don't have shell-access (e.g. when it's run by GridPROTEUS). The model will terminate if the file keepalive in the output directory is removed.
DummyAtmosphere
While debugging some convergence issues - which were ultimately fixed by the new time-stepping scheme and the increased interior mesh resolution - I developed a new module for the atmosphere. It is called DummyAtmosphere, and can be found inside utils/. This takes the place of JANUS/AGNI by providing values for the upward/downward radiative fluxes parameterised by a value gamma. This value is a measure for the radiating temperature of the atmosphere just above the surface, relative to the surface temperature itself. We can therefore represent an optically thick and luminous atmosphere with gamma=1, or an entirely transparent atmosphere with gamma=0. This is not very physical, but it is still useful.
GridPROTEUS
It's now possible to set the number of desired processes in the GridPROTEUS script. The script will then only dispatch this many runs at a given time, with the remainder waiting in a queue. This is probably redundant thanks to other tools like PySlurm, but it works better than the previous implementation. I've tested this on a grid of 700 points.
