Description

Adds the required field exchanges within the NUOPC cap to couple WW3 and CICE6. This allows eventual implementation of wave-ice coupling developed by CESM in UWM.

To test w/in UWM, additional changes are required:

• the meshcap needs an update (meshcap update NOAA-EMC/WW3#757)

• a new mesh cap switch file with IC4 needs to be added. Either the nml or inp file needs to specify ice parameters 1,5 as "C" and EF needs to be an output variable &OUTS E3D = 1, USSP = 1, IUSSP = 3, STK_WN = 0.04, 0.110, 0.3305 /

• a new mod_def file with &SIC4 IC4METHOD = 8 needs to be created and added to the input directory

• the following variables need to be added to ice_in

nfsd         = 12 (in grid_nml)
tr_fsd       = .true. (in tracer_nml)
wave_spec_type  = 'constant' (in forcing_nml)

• the attribute wav_coupling_to_cice = true needs to be added to nems.configure (in ALLCOMP_attributes)

Issue(s) addressed

• fixes Add optional Wave-Ice Coupling to NUOPC cap NOAA-EMC/CICE#52
• allows implementation of required feature within CESM to enable future merging of WW3 meshcap into develop
• fixes hafs tests incorrectly set coupling fields for waves #1389

Testing

The additional files and settings described above were added to a sandbox on Cheyenne. The cpld_debug_noaero_p8 test was run for both Intel and GNU with mediator history files for ICE and WAV enabled. Both jobs ran to completion and the exchanged fields (Si_thick, Si_floediam, Sw_elevation_spectrum) appeared reasonable.

A 10d simulation using the cpld_control_noaero_p8 RT was also run, comparing the wave-ice solution against develop. The ice concentration and thickness changes are in-line w/ intuition that wave-ice interactions will impact marginal ice-zone thermodynamics, with enhanced breakup leading to increased lateral melt. Shown are ice concentration and thickness differences which arise from including wave-ice coupling.

Both Hera.Intel and Hera.GNU were run at 17f1605 and all tests except for cpld_control_ciceC_p8 reproduced. The change in the ciceC test is due to a change in the visc_method default to avg_zeta brought in with the update to Consortium/main. A test was run for this test retaining the visc_method as avg_strength and the develop-20220805 baseline for this test reproduced.

After adding the fix for the HAFS wav configurations 83edc46, the hafs_regional_atm_ocn_wav and hafs_regional_atm_wav tests will also change baseliens.

@DeniseWorthen @BrianCurtis-NOAA I will start creating new BL from hera.

[DeniseWorthen]

@jkbk2004 The BL date has not been updated.

[DeniseWorthen]

@jkbk2004 I don't think the jobs on hera had picked up yet before I removed the labels.

[jkbk2004]

@DeniseWorthen Thanks for catching it!
