permamodel / Snow_BMI_Fortran

This is a simple snow model with BMI (Basic Model Interface of CSDMS) in Fortran cooperatively-developed by Kang Wang (University of Colorado Boulder), Ross Brown (Environment Canada), and Bruce Brasnett (Canadian Meteorological Centre). It's an empirical algorithm to melt snow according to the surface temperature and increase snow depth according to the precipitation that has fallen since the last analysis time.

Use valid Standard Names for all external variables #4

Open mdpiper opened 5 years ago

mdpiper commented 5 years ago

The bmi-tester warns that four variables

  1. precipitation_mass_flux_adjust_factor
  2. precipitation_mass_flux
  3. open_area_or_not
  4. snow_class

in the ECSimpleSnow BMI are not valid CSDMS Standard Names. These variables should be updated to conform to CSN.

I can not find the corresponding standard names for these parameters. So I keep them as now. Meanwhile, I think "precipitation_mass_flux" should be on the CSDMS standard name list.
