Description
Provide a detailed description of what this PR does. What bug does it fix, or what feature does it add?
MYNN: 1) cosmetic fix to the cloud fractions in (relatively rare) conditions with unsaturated grid cells and positive mixing ratios; 2) very slight increase in diffusion in stable conditions; 3) momentum transport bug fix--missing rho.
RUC LSM: Computation of the new snow fraction uses now snow with variable density to reduce cold bias.
GF: Adjust the scale-awareness in the 1st hour forecast to reduce precipitation bias.
Smoke and Dust: Fix the diurnal cycle of smoke, dust emission over frozen soil, dry deposition.
Is a change of answers expected from this PR?
Yes.
Testing
How were these changes tested? Regression test
What compilers / HPCs was it tested with? Intel/Hera
Are the changes covered by regression tests? (If not, why? Do new tests need to be added?)
Yes. No new testes are needed.
Have the ufs-weather-model regression test been run? On what platform? Yes, on Hera.
Yes, the results are changed by physics updates. /scratch2/BMC/acomp/Haiqin.Li/stmp4/Haiqin.Li/FV3_RT/rt_112955
Dependencies
If testing this branch requires non-default branches in other repositories, list them.
Those branches should have matching names (ideally)
