Add the TEMPO microphysics submodule #215

Open AndersJensen-NOAA opened 4 weeks ago

AndersJensen-NOAA commented 4 weeks ago

Development of the Thompson-Eidhammer microphysics is transitioning to a submodule, and this submodule is: https://github.com/NCAR/TEMPO

TEMPO stand for Thompson-Eidhammer Microphysics Parameterization for Operations.

The use of a submodule will enable centralized community development (and testing) of the microphysics scheme for various applications and dynamical cores. This submodule will eventually replace the Thompson parameterization currently in the CCPP after approval from all parties involved and significant testing.

This implementation is done in a way that will allow parallel testing of both TEMPO and the original Thompson microphysics.

@AndersJensen-NOAA How does this relate to #214? I see that it does everything this does plus some other changes.

@grantfirl This PR implements TEMPO in parallel to Thompson so they can be tested side-side-side. #214 is an implementation that would replace Thompson. @dustinswales and I decided to do a parallel implementation first.
