These files are produced using 1-km resolution MODIS vegetation classification and 1-km BNU soil types with new land/water mask. The lake information in *oro* files was produced by Ning Wang with 50% cut-off. Also, *oro* files now include fractional vegetation and soil information. The new fixed files are introduced at 03z cold-start spinup cycle on 4 march 2023. Conducted soil surgery from RAP/HRRR at 04z spinup to adjust to the new land/water mask. The UFS model code is changed to import fractional soil and vegetation in FV3GFS_io.F90. Also, a small change is made in sfc_diag.f that computes 2-m diagnostics. The diag_log option is separated now from diag_flux: thus, even with diag_flux=.false., the logarithmic diagnostic for stable stratification can still be used if diag_log = .true. in the input.nml. Not enabled yet in RRFS_B. Fractional vegetation and soil information hasn't been enabled in RUC LSM yet. A new version of RUC LSM is coming soon. The CLM lake model is not included yet. The CLM is expected to be merged into the UFS-develop by Sam Trahan next week. Needs to be merged into RRFS code. ******************************************************************************** Logging a note at 02/16/2023 ******************************************************************************** name: Ming Hu changes: deploy ufs_ufsweather_app hash: 376c84f4271e728195379b6 fv3lam,GSI,UPP,rrfs_utl,regional_workflow,ect were updated. system locations: APP:/mnt/lfs4/BMC/nrtrr/RRFS/rrfsb036_ufs-srweather-app RUN:/mnt/lfs4/BMC/nrtrr/NCO_dirs/v0.3.6 XML:/misc/whome/rtrr/RRFS/rrfs.v0.3.6/RRFS_CONUS_3km components: rrfs_b system first_cycle: 2023021622 ******************************************************************************** Logging a note at 02/13/2023 ******************************************************************************** name: Ming Hu changes: Recompile model with changes from Tanya for including fractional data for soil and vegetation and also lake information first_cycle: 2023021320 ******************************************************************************** Logging a note at 02/09/2023 ******************************************************************************** name: Haiqin Li changes: Added the bug fix of dust emission APP:/mnt/lfs4/BMC/nrtrr/RRFS/rrfsb036_ufs-srweather-app file: src/ufs_weather_model/FV3/ccpp/physics/physics/smoke/dust_fengsha_mod.F90 first_cycle: 2023020921 ******************************************************************************** Logging a note at 02/02/2023 ******************************************************************************** name: Ming Hu changes: deploy ufs_ufsweather_app hash: abb690fc37 This is to match RRFS_A version 0.3.6.
