Code modifications (SourceMods)#

Includes the long wave aod error#

Information about the bug: The aerosol long wave calculations used information from the aerosol shortwave interpolation on aerosol size. The result was that aerosol longwave forcing was not included during night. A first estimate based on estimates from AMIP simulation is + 0.03 W/m2. The forcing is not evenly distributed, but mostly focused on Sahara including downstream and the Arabian peninsula. The numbers here are around 1-2 W/m2.

Note this bug was fixed in N1850OCBDRDDMS_f09_tn14_alwfix_sg30_qmnmx_20190314

User name lists#

gamma#

Gamma controls the skewness of Gaussian PDF for the subgrid vertical velocities (used in the Cloud Layers Unified By Binormals (CLUBB) scheme). A low gamma generally increases the amount of low clouds and hence gives a higher short-wave cloud forcing.

iceopt#

Iceopt is used for setting the parameterisation of ice-cloud fraction. The CESM2 default scheme for the parameterisation of the ice-cloud fraction is iceopt = 5, which includes a functional dependence of ice cloud fraction on the environmental relative humidity. In this simulation the iceopt = 4, for which there is no such dependence. This was changed later in N1850OCBDRDDMS_f09_tn14_qmnmxrhmin_20190314
