TYPE: bug fix

KEYWORDS: WDM5, WDM6, WDM7

SOURCE: Kyo-Sun Lim (Kyungpook National University) and Sooya Bae (KIAPS).

DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES:
Error correction based on Lei et al. (JGR, 2020)

  1. Melting of snow/graupel :
    -Problem: melting processes of snow/graupel mass and number concentration do not occur
    at the same time.
    -Correction: melting of snow/graupel changes the snow/graupel/rain mass and rain number
    concentration at the same time.
    -Effect: Generation of rain number concentrations would decrease.
  2. Regeneration of CCN number concentration due to the cloud water evaporation:
    -Problem: Cloud water number concentration does not add into the CCN number concentration.
    -Correction: Adding the cloud water number concentration into the CCN number concentration.
  • Effect: CCN number concentration would increase.

ISSUE: none

LIST OF MODIFIED FILES:
module_mp_wdm5.F
module_mp_wdm6.F

TESTS CONDUCTED:
Passed Jenkins

@dudhia Can we see some differences in a model run?

Not sure where Sunny works now. Sooya was at KIAPS, not sure now.

Folks,
The fixes seem simple and consistent. Before my approval, we are still waiting on:

  1. Inclusion of requested imagery for PR message.
  2. Proper affiliations of contributors. Maybe Hong knows?

@dudhia I guess to most users, what impact these changes have to surface precipitation would be of some interest. Do we know? Can we get a statement from the contributors?
