This latest version of NESOSIM (v1.1) includes a few minor updates/fixes to the original (v1.0) code repository. Thanks to Alex Cabaj for assistance with introducing and testing some of these items. Changes include:
- Upgrade to Python 3.
- Switched from Basemap to pyproj/cartopy (surprisingly painful).
- An extended Arctic domain to cover all the southern peripheral seas.
- Introduction of CloudSat scaling parameters by Alex Cabaj (Cabaj et al., 2020).
- New wind-atmosphere blowing snow loss term (similar to lead loss but not concentration dependent).
- New Gaussian smoothing filter (using the AstroPy library) to reduce noise in the dynamics budgets.
- Replaced masked arrays with NaNs to be consistent throughout. Improved performance along coastlines.
- Various small bug fixes.
