Surface flux tendency is not controlled by vert_diff or edmfx_sgs_diffusive_flux anymore.
Instead, it is controlled by the new flag disable_surface_flux_tendency. When it is set to
true, no surface flux tendency is applied, no matter what surface_setup is.
This flag is set to false by default. PR 3670.
If netcdf_interpolation_num_points is not provided, ClimaAtmos will
determine it automatically by matching approximately the same number of points
as the model grid.
PR 3584 changes the weighted
interpolation of density from centers to faces so that it uses ᶜJ and ᶠJ,
rather than ᶜJ and ᶠint(ᶜJ). As of ClimaCore v0.14.25, ᶠJ is no longer
equivalent to ᶠint(ᶜJ) for stretched grids.
PR 3622 adds a new simplified EDMF model that only implements the Eddy-Diffusivity part of the scheme (not the Mass-Flux).

Updates the default_config to set deep_atmosphere=true, and updates the
rv relative vorticity diagnostic to store the curl of horizontal velocity.
Added functionality to allow five different size bins of dust and sea salt aerosols for radiation calculation. This feature requires RRTMGP version v0.20.0 or later. PR 3555
The option FriersonDiffusion is removed from vert_diff config. Use DecayWithHeightDiffusion instead.

The .dev was deprecated. The two utilities in this folder can be replaced with
more established and better developed tools:
- instead of
clima_format, useJuliaFormatter, - instead of
up_deps, usePkgDevTools. See the documentation for more information.
ClimaAtmos now only support equilibrium moisture + 0-moment microphysics and
nonequilibrium + 1-moment microphysics (No precipitation is still supported too).

ClimaAtmos now supports logging to stdout and file simultaneously using
ClimaComms.FileLogger. To enable, set the configuration with log_to_file = false.
See ClimaComms documentation
for more background on logging.
ClimaAtmos now support using data from the Mauna Loa CO2 measurements to set
CO2 concentration. This is currently only relevant for radiation transfer with
RRTGMP.

Added functionality to allow initial conditions to be overwritten by interpolated NetCDF datasets.
To use this feature from the YAML interface, just pass the path of the file. We expect the file to contain the following variables:
p, for pressure,t, for temperature,q, for humidity,u, v, w, for velocity,cswc, crwcfor snow and rain water content (for 1 moment microphysics).
For example, to use the DYAMONDSummer initial condition, set
initial_condition: "artifact\"DYAMONDSummer\"/DYAMOND_SUMMER_ICS_p98deg.nc"
in your configuration file.
Added functionality to write diagnostics in DictWriter to text files. This is useful for outputting scalar diagnostics, such as total mass of the atmosphere. PR 3476
When vert_diff is set to DecayWithHeightDiffusion, diffusion decays
exponentially with height.

When prescribe_clouds_in_radiation is set to true, clouds in radiation

Reset the RNG seed before calling RRTGMP to a known value (the iteration number). When modeling cloud optics, RRTGMP uses a random number generator. Resetting the seed every time RRTGMP is called to a deterministic value ensures that the simulation is fully reproducible and can be restarted in a reproducible way. Disable this option when running production runs.
Note: Setting this option to
trueis behavior-changing. PR 3382

Fixed radiation diagnostics conflicting with each other. Prior to this change, adding multiple diagnostics associated to the same variable would lead to incorrect results when the more diagnostics were output at the same time. PR 3365

The prescribe_ozone flag was turned into a type, allowing for prescribing
arbitrary ozone concentrations. The two types that are currently implemented are
IdealizedOzone (implementing a static profile from Wing 2018), and
PrescribedOzone (reading from CMIP6 forcing files).
Prescribed aerosol and ozone concentrations require external files. Now, a low-resolution version of such files is automatically downloaded when a higher-resolution version is not available. Please, refer to ClimaArtifacts for more information.
