CM1 version 1 release 4: 14 May 2003. Summary of changes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 1. New options/features. - MPI support is added to this release (CompileType options 5 and 6). - Additional open raditative boundary condition has been added: irbc=4. It is based on the formulation presented in Durran and Klemp (1983). ------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Changes, fixes, modifications. - Made minor modification to surface boundary condition in turbulence code. - Increased default intercept for hail distribution in Goddard microphysics scheme. Tends to decrease total mass of hail and increase total mass of snow in simulations of squall lines. - Made a minor change to saturation adjustment in Goddard code to ensure qi and qc do not become negative. - Made a minor change in ifall=3 option of hydrometeor fallout code to ensure surface rainfall accumulation cannot be negative.
