8.2.2-2.11 Correct initialization of snow on sea ice. #105
Conversation
preserve initialized from GFS snow on sea ice. If some water points will get snow after horizontal interpolation, it will be cleaned out later in the model.

Appears reasonable to me pending regression test results.
@tanyasmirnova There aren't any changes to the atmosphere_model so there aren't any changes in the run tests, but there should be changes in the init files, correct? The reported tests should include the init_atmosphere testing (create test) as well. |
@barlage Mike, yes the model runs are identical. The initial conditions for snow on sea ice will change. Not a big difference on our conus domain, maybe only the winter case. |
The title above should be a 1 line short summary of the pull request (i.e. what the project the PR represents is intended to do).
Enter a description of this PR. This should include why this PR was created, and what it does.
1. Removed land/water masking in snow interpolation. This fix is needed to
keep GFS snow on sea ice. If some water points will get non-zero snow after horizontal interpolation, it
will be anyway cleaned out later in the model.
2. Limit initial snow ice to 1.2 m.
Testing and relations to other Pull Requests should be added as subsequent comments.

Information on running mandatory regression tests on Jet can be found here and the results pasted below.
This PR is tested against version 8.2.2-2.8, and all suites have identical results because the situation with snow on sea ice was not presented in our test cases.
