#997 (Heat flux arrays not initialised in LIM3) – NEMO

Heat flux arrays not initialised in LIM3

Reported by: ufla Owned by: vancop
Priority: normal Milestone:
Component: LIM3 Version: v3.4
Severity: Keywords: LIM* v3.4
Cc: ufla

Description

In lim_thd_dif, latent heat flux is updated as

qla_ice_1d(ji) = qla_ice_1d(ji) + dqla_ice_1d(ji) * (...)

However, the qla_ice_1d and dqla_ice_1d arrays are initialised in lim_thd from their 2d counterpart only in uncoupled mode:

#if ! defined key_coupled
  CALL tab_2d_1d(nbpb,qla_ice_1d(1:nbpb),qla_ice(:,:,jl)... )
  CALL tab_2d_1d(nbpb,dqla_ice_1d(1:nbpb),dqla_ice(:,:,jl)...)
#endif

which means that they are not initialised (but used) for coupled runs.

Thanks for pointing out this issue.

The current version of NEMO (and the forthcoming v3.4.1 stable and v3.5 alpha) does not include a coupled interface with LIM3. In particular, in sbcice_lim.F90, there is no specification of ice-atmosphere fluxes (case ksbc=5) as it is done in LIM2.

In order to just solve the qla_ice_1d issue reported here (i.e. we do not introduced a coupled interface with LIM3), the use of qla_ice_1d in both lim_thd_dif AND lim_thd_dh has been surrounded by "#if ! defined key_coupled" ... "#endif"

This mirror what has been done in LIM2: no update of sublimation inside LIM2 in coupled mode

Note that the specification of ice-atmosphere fluxes (call to sbc_cpl_ice_flx and set sprecip to minus emp_ice) is still missing in sbcice_lim. 

see Changeset 3808 for v3.5 alpha branch  and Changeset 3807 for the v3.4.1 stable branch

N.B. this changeset also include the Latent heat flux capping (see #898)
