CliMA/Oceananigans.jl: v0.37.0

Diff since v0.36.0

• More empowered Field abstraction:
  • AbstractReducedField and concrete ReducedField for representing fields that are reduced along one or more dimensions.
  • AveragedField <: AbstractReducedField representing a field that is averaged along one dimension. AveragedField will replace Average in the near future and can be inserted into AbstractOperations.
  • ComputedField representing fields whose data must be "computed". ComputedFields are intended to hold the results of AbstractOperations. They can also participate in AbstractOperations.
• FieldSlicer abstraction representing a "slice" or sub-indexing operation applied to fields prior to output.
• Functionality in JLD2OutputWriter for handling field output. This eliminates the need for the FieldOuputs constructor. FieldSlicer can be used with JLD2OutputWriter.
• Bugfixes and improvements to WindowedTimeAverage and full integration with FieldSlicer and JLD2OutputWriter.
• Support for closure = nothing so that models can be run with no diffusivity or turbulence closure.
• A new, as-of-now non-default third-order Runge-Kutta time-stepper, along with dynamics tests and convergence tests.
• Bugfix in the experimental fourth order advection scheme.
• Bugfix that incorrectly created MultiaryOperations when they should have been BinaryOperations.

Breaking changes:

• FieldOutputs no longer exists; named tuples of fields should be passed directly to JLD2OutputWriter instead (and halos are omitted by default when using this functionality)

Closed issues:

• Explicitly time-step w instead of recomputing it from continuity? (#338)
• Forward Euler + 3rd order Runge-Kutta time-stepping (or integration with DifferentialEquations.jl) (#506)
• ReducedField type (#525)
• zero_halo_regions needs to know about field and grid topology (#734)
• Need to update ParameterizedForcing constructor (#785)
• Setting up inflow condition in bounded domain with buoyancy as tracer (#789)
• Why is w*T is a MultiaryOperation? (#892)
• Docstring for IncompressibleModel is incorrect (#895)
• Keyword array_type in JLD2OutputWriter (and perhaps NetCDFOutputWriter) (#901)
• More meaningful notation for non-traditional beta plane (#918)
• zero_halo_regions is incorrect for fields located on faces in bounded directions (#919)
• The values of slices dictionary in NetCDFOutputWriter are identical for every field (#926)
• Cannot create model with closure = nothing (#939)
