coupling mode definitions are poorly defined #100

Closed DeniseWorthen closed 9 months ago

DeniseWorthen commented 9 months ago

The original coupling modes were defined at the time of the update from the NEMS mediator. The values of coupling_mode are poorly named for the current uses in UFS. They should be changed to be more representative of the what each mode represents.

_nemsorig : this is the original, non-fractional grid with an active ATM. _nems_origdata : the original, non-fraction grid with DATM _nemsfrac : the fractional grid with active ATM _nems_fracaoflux and _nems_frac_aofluxsbs : the fractional grid using the mediator aoflux calculations.

Better names for these modes are:

_nemsorig --> ufs.nfrac _nems_origdata --> ufs.nfrac.aoflux _nemsfrac --> ufs.frac _nems_fracaoflux and _nems_frac_aofluxsbs --> ufs.frac.aoflux
