MPAS-A Tracer LBC not diffusing #1170

Closed C130PA5 closed 4 months ago

C130PA5 commented 4 months ago

Hi all, I'm trying to set-up a fork of MPAS-A with support for passive tracers.

Following the tutorial, I was able to adapt the code to calculate tracers transport. I've also managed to add support for flux reading from input files and added the scalar lbc to my model inputs. I currently face an issue with setting a regional run. I've generated the LBC files for the scalars and interpolated my data at the boundaries where bdyMaskCell is maximal. I was able to read them in the model. However unlike the emissions. LBCs for scalars are not being transported into the domain... only initial values are being transported outside of the domain and zeroes are coming into the domain. The red ring in the bottom animation shows the LBC values being read.

I was wondering if I misinterpreted the bdyMaskCell in this case and would have to interpolate my input lbc data differently. Or is the relaxation of scalars not included in the code.
