I think we're getting rhoa from sfcprop already in the fv3 cap. Does this overwrite the value in that data structure?
IPD_Data(nb)%Sfcprop%rhoa
We'll need to test this for at least one experiment run with the coupled model (e.g. 2/15/24) before merging.
Yes, it overwrites it with the new definition. Agree on testing this in the coupled model. |
@StevePny What's the change you are requesting? @miguelsolanocordoba What branch should this het merged into to test it in the coupled model? |

Description
This moves the computation of the air density from the surface layer parameterization to the sfc_diag routine that handles the diagnostics. There, it is computed for the 2-m level. This will ensure that the density reflects well on the density jump at the water/air interface and ensures that it is independent of the height of the first model level.
