fractional_seaice turned off in registry, turned on in namelists for …
…real cases (#1468) TYPE: no impact KEYWORDS: fractional_seaice, registry, Registry.EM_COMMON, namelist.input, SLAB SOURCE: internal DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES: Problem: The namelist parameter "fractional_seaice" was recently modified in the Registry.EM_COMMON file to be set to "on" (1) by default (commit 0fff69a, PR #1401 "Change default fractional_seaice option from 0 to 1". However, if using the SLAB scheme, fractional_seaice must be turned off, which causes problems for some of the default idealized cases. Additionally, some other cases where users are running with the SLAB scheme (and not realizing it's turned on by default), would cause lots of user difficulty and confusion. Solution: Set fractional_seaice back to 0 (off) in Registry.EM_COMMON, but add it (and turned on) to three of the default namelists in the test/em_real directory as examples. LIST OF MODIFIED FILES: M test/em_real/namelist.input M test/em_real/namelist.input.global M test/em_real/namelist.input.jan00 M Registry/Registry.EM_COMMON TESTS CONDUCTED: The namelist changes have no impact on the build or run phases of the model. When fractional seaice was activated by default, this uncovered several problems that were previously addressed. Reverting the default fractional seaice setting back to zero (OFF) is not problematic. f87b449, #1422 "Fix for fractional_seaice option, again" 476990a, #1457 "Fix for fractional seaice using MYJ and QNSE surface layer with MYNN PBL"
