This repository contains the "Unified Gravity Wave Physics (UGWP)" parameterizations developed by NOAA/GSL.
The following is a brief overview on using the suite:
-
In the init_atmosphere core, there is a new static pre-processing option, 'config_native_gwd_gsl_static', that is used to generate a new static file used by the Unified Gravity Wave Physics. The static file is written by the ugwp_oro_data stream, and requires two new datasets in the geographical dataset directory: 'topo_ugwp_30s' and 'topo_ugwp_2.5m'.
-
In the atmosphere core, there are several new options when config_gwdo_scheme = 'bl_ugwp_gwdo': config_ngw_scheme, config_knob_ugwp_tauamp, and config_ugwp_diags.
-
If config_ngw_scheme = true, an additional input file, ugwp_limb_tau.nc is needed. This namelist options activates the non-stationary gravity wave drag scheme.
-
If config_ugwp_diags = true, the diag_ugwp output stream will be written.
