This PR is an implementation of a water and energy conservation checker to investigate the conservation errors observed in #34 .

The implementation is based on lines 404ff in check_energy.F09.

The checker should be called at various places in nn_interface_cam.F90->n_convection_flux_CAM.

The output can be found in the atm.log.***.gz files.

The code runs through and gives the expected outputs, but both the energy and water sum for SAM seems to be off by a factor 100:

Might be an error in the parameters I hand in?

The output of the built-in energy checker (not the new implementation) is:

  • actual value (energy/water)
  • expected value
  • change (in static energy/total water)
  • tendency (from boundary fluxes)
  • expected tendency
  • relative error

OK, this is where the factor 100 comes from:

pres_int_cam, in the "before the conversion" call is in Pa (see

!! interface pressure [Pa] from the CAM model
f).

presi, as used for the "after conversion" part, is in hPa, see

!= unit hPa :: pres, presi
. It is explicitly converted to hecto Pascal in SAM_sounding_init:
presi(:) = presi(:) / 100.0
.

Last time step with @jatkinson1000 's new changes:

We loose water (increasing from 0.04% in the first iteration to 0.168% in the last), and we gain a bit of energy. :-/
