Description
In LIM-3 a betas exponent has been introduced when computing the solid precipitation over the sea ice. Part of the snow that falls over sea-ice is put in the lead areas by the wind. Nevertheless, the latent heat flux due to snow melting is computed with sprecip *(1-at_i) whereas the actual solid precipitation over lead area is sprecip*(1-at_ibetas) (see limsbc.F90). If betas /=1, some latent heat is missing.
In limthd.F90 the following lines:
zfontn = sprecip(ji,jj) * lfus ! energy of melting zfnsol = qns(ji,jj) ! total non solar flux qldif(ji,jj) = tms(ji,jj) * ( qsr(ji,jj) & & + zfnsol + fdtcn(ji,jj) - zfontn & & + ( 1.0 - zindb ) * fsbbq(ji,jj) ) & & * ( 1.0 - at_i(ji,jj) ) * rdt_ice
should be replace by
qldif(ji,jj) = tms(ji,jj) * rdt_ice & & * ( ( 1.0 - at_i(ji,jj) ) * ( qsr(ji,jj) & ! solar heat & + qns(ji,jj) & ! non solar heat & + fdtcn(ji,jj) & ! turbulent ice-ocean heat & + ( 1.0 - zindb ) * fsbbq(ji,jj) ) & ! residual heat from previous step & - sprecip(ji,jj) * lfus * pfrld(ji,jj)**betas ) & ! latent heat of sprecip melting
and remove the declaration of zfontn and zfnsol, not used anymore
