NCAR/wrf_hydro_nwm_public: WRF-Hydro® v5.3.0

Description

Version 5.3.0 of the Community WRF-Hydro® source code is consistent with the NOAA National Water Model (NWM) v3.0 code in operations plus the following additions and fixes:

New features:

  • Added impervious runoff scheme
  • New new nexp spatial parameter
  • Added option for Crocus snowpack/glacier model (see additional licensing terms)
  • New channel option to bypass channel solver and output inflows
  • New spatial snow parameters

Model physics fixes/updates:

  • Array boundary fixes in channel routing
  • Improved performance of nudging routines
  • Correct minimum slope limit
  • Corrected a situation where NaNs could be introduced in Muskingum-Cunge solver
  • Moved SWE max limit to MPTABLE parameter
  • Fixed energy NaNs over large snowpacks
  • Miscellaneous RFC Reservoir fixes
  • Moved overland roughness calculation outside of time-dependent disaggregation
  • Improvements of Xinanjiang soil moisture scheme
  • Added 'scrape' to domain edge so water doesn't accumulate non-physically

Updated coupling infrastructure:

  • Updated WRF coupling
  • Updated NUOPC Cap coupling

Code-level updates that do not affect model physics:

  • Removed unnecessary, harmless error messages
  • Updated makefile targets to include debug, install, and test
  • Removed dependency on Dask from automated tests
  • Update other dependencies in testing to newest versions
