Branch name: dap_CY42R1_t2m_vertical_struct_Lswitch
Experiments:
1) Test the switch and BR when it is off:
Objective: Test that when we de-activate the use of the vertical structure function we get Bit-Identical results with the control branch from Gabor:
expid: gh9p (Tco639 dap_CY42R1_t2m_vertical_struct_Lswitch) with L_VERT_CORR=.false
ctrl: gh9h (Tco639 dag_CY42R1_esuite)
are bit-identical on 2014060100-2014060112
This shows that (i) the switch enables to switch off the use of the vertical structure function and (ii) the technical changes included in the branch are BI to the control dag branch.
2) Scientific evaluation:
CTRL: gh9h (Tco639 dag_CY42R1_esuite), EXPT: gh9i (Tco639 dap_CY42R1_t2m_vertical_struct_Lswitch) 20140601-20140930
CTRL: gh9q (Tco639 dag_CY42R1_esuite), EXPT: gh9r (Tco639 dap_CY42R1_t2m_vertical_struct_Lswitch) 20150601-20150930
For the EXPTs gh9i and gh9r the vertical correlation feedback was used (L_VERT_CORR=.true.) as specified by default in the script ssaana in /vol/ifs/sms
iver scores:
Winter (20150101 to 20150309): 2 months and 9 days - expt still running):
Summer (20140601 to 20140815) 2.5 months - expt still running):
Impact summary:
Neutral impact for upper air analysis (also neutral OBSTAT differences).
Significant impact, both winter and summer, very localised to near surface T2m and Tskin and mainly in areas with orography (as expected):
Andes, Himalaya, Alpes, and ice capes: Greenland and Antarctica.
