bug in diahth.F90

Description

Hello,

just found a small bug in the heat content computation

(diahth.F90, please refer to the trunk version):

314 IF( lk_vvl ) THEN ; zthick(:,:) = 0._wp ; htc3(:,:) = 0._wp
315 ELSE ; zthick(:,:) = sshn(:,:) ; htc3(:,:) = tsn(:,:,jk,jp_tem) * sshn(:,:) * tmask(:,:,jk)
316 ENDIF

line 315 should be replaced by
315 ELSE ; zthick(:,:) = sshn(:,:) ; htc3(:,:) = tsn(:,:,1,jp_tem) * sshn(:,:) * tmask(:,:,jk)

namely when no variable volume the sshn is accounted for
in within the first level thickness, but the computation
is wrongly performed by using tsn relative to the level
jk, which is actually jpkm1 from the DO-loop in line 309-312

Best,
Andrea Storto

  • Resolution set to fixed
  • Status changed from new to closed

Thanks !  

Note that, in the same 315 line,  jk must also be replace by 1 in the index used for tmask:

315 ELSE ; zthick(:,:) = sshn(:,:) ; htc3(:,:) = tsn(:,:,1,jp_tem) * sshn(:,:) * tmask(:,:,1)

This has been corrected, see Changeset 3721
