Various changes to merge in v1.6 RRTMGP and upgrade the structure of the radiation codes:

  • Update @GEOSradiation_GC to run with RRTMGP v1.6.
  • RRTMGP now has a generalized maximum-random overlap option (the default) with cloud condensate inhomogeneity making it consistent with RRTMG (i.e., Oreopoulous et al., 2012)
  • Make type of sub-gridscale condensate inhomogeneity selectable at runtime.
  • Update condensate inhomogeneity system to be more lightweight.
  • Add internal RRTMG timing for cost analysis
  • various and significant structural (readability, speed, current practise, etc.), commenting, and cosmetic improvements.
  • In particular, a number of REFRESH-timed EXPORTS are now handled implicitly via the FRIENDLYTO mechanism for INTERNALs. The INTERNAL state of SOLAR now has COSZSW, CLDxxSW, and TAUxxPAR added to it.
  • effective radii used in RRTMGP are clipped to limits for RRTMGP lookup tables.

Changes are zero-diff for RRTMG runs except for nine extra 2D fields added to solar internal state.

Note: To run with RRTMGP v1.6 requires:
