RK4 should be default (in super cycling cases) #8

Open pwolfram opened 5 years ago

pwolfram commented 5 years ago

In global runs, RK4 should be the default option for accuracy since time stepping with super cycling will not be using the Eulerian timestep dt. Larger time steps, e.g., 4-6 hrs, will benefit from use of RK4 at the cost of doubling each Lagrangian diagnostic step by a factor of 2 with respect to computation and memory.
