Check the results of the energy fixer after running YOG
Opened this issue · 6 comments
It would be good to see how much (if any) lifting the energy fixer is having to do after the YOG parameterisation is run.
Diagnostics should be output to the CAM log files which can be used to check this.
This goes to the logfiles and is output.
Judith can provide guidance but look at the check_energy
subroutine.
@paogorman said that this is lower priority for us, as it involves more science (might be picked up by research associate in the new year?).
Yes, this could be a lower priority than other issues. One caveat: checking the energy fixer for YOG could be a way to find a bug in the code if it flagged that energy was clearly not conserved.
Yes, Jack pointed out the line I think Judith was referring to:
CAM-ML/src/physics/cam/physpkg.F90
Line 1975 in 4a4a0a6
Information about the dycore energy fixer can be found here: https://www.cesm.ucar.edu/models/simple/change-dycore . @judithberner mentioned, though, that we are only interested in the physics energy fixer.
Doing a grep
of EFIX
, as was mentioned at the above link, shows that this field is output in the logs/atm.log*
files.
