I would like to pull this into #366 and merge it into dtc/develop (provided that all tests except the noahmp test pass). Please let me know if that's ok. |

I have only compiled and run with the SCM with this code. The associated changes in the SCM and FV3 are done, except for the associated change in GFS_physics_driver for the non-CCPP physics. This has also not been OKed by Helin Wei yet. But, if you want to test it, go ahead. I'll go ahead and make the changes to GFS_physics_driver and commit to fv3atm tonight real quick. |
This can wait until tomorrow, no problem! Thanks for making those changes. If we can show that it makes a noticeable difference (and especially makes noahmp less dry), then that's great. |

This moves the calculation of precipitation rates needed by NoahMP LSM to GFS_MP_generic_post_run from sfc_noahmp_pre. Since this was the only thing done in sfc_noahmp_pre, it is no longer needed.
Note: As commented in the code and as noted by @climbfuji, there may be an issue with the calculation of these precipitation rates since they rely on liquid water equivalent thickness variables. From looking at GFS_physics_driver, it looks like Diag%rain,rainc are on the dynamics timestep whereas Diag%snow,ice,graupel are on the physics time step. This may not be consistent across all microphysics schemes. Of course, this issue is hidden as long as dtp=dtf (frain=1). This could definitely benefit from some cleanup if dtp is ever expected to be different than dtf.
