| Discussion | Parameter file inconsistencies. Settings for data output are not consistent within the parameter file. For example, 3d/2d/pr output variables are explicitly declared, but timeseries are always the same (confusing for users). Also, differentiation between data_output and data_output_pr is confusing. A possible solution would be to use data_output exclusively and include profiles, e.g. for pt this then would read "pt", "pt_xy", "pt_pr", etc. | group

|
| PALM code | code clearing and restructuring following programmer guidelines of DWD/DMI | all, Siggi
|

|
| <page> | Subgrid-scale saturation fluctuation for Lagrangian cloud model | Fabian

|
| PALM code | Create temporary job sub-directories via mrun (does not work properly with the FORTRAN system call function) |
|
| Example runs | Modify the "building" example run (example_building_p3d), since topography is allowed with WS-scheme |
|
| PALM code | For reference_state='horizontal_average' round the averaged profile (e.g. 3.3 digits) to make runs repeatable |
|

|
| PALM code | Implement and homogenize output of cloud-physical variables derived from bulk and Lagrangian cloud physics (e.g., qc, ql, qr, lpt, pt) | Fabian
|
| PALM code/ documentation | Change the name specific humidity to mixing ratio! We don't compute specific humidities. | Fabian
|
| data_output | In profile output define zu and zw only once instead of define a vertical dimension for each individual variable (e.g. zpt, zw"u, zw"v, ...) |
|
| data_output | When calculating vertical cross sections averaged along x or y, leave out topography |
|
| data_output | Do not output ghost points (still done in masked output) |
|
| PALM code | Separate option "cyclic_fill" from restart run to avoid unwanted effects (e.g. surface heat flux value in namelist of a run using "cyclic_fill" will always be overwritten by the value used in the precursor run). |
|
| PALM code | define dimensions of data_output, data_output_pr, etc. as variables (avoid fixed numbers in code) |
|
| PALM code | Implement a more flexible y-shift method for non-cyclic but also for cyclic runs | Simon
|
| PALM code | Particle code: unify allocation of particle arrays within lpm_droplet_collision, lpm_droplet_condensation, ... (REAL(wp), DIMENSION(:), ALLOCATABLE or REAL(wp), DIMENSION(prt_count(k,j,i))) | Fabian
|
| PALM code | Use only one Magnus formula within the code (not several as in microphysics.f90, lpm_droplet_condensation.f90, calc_liquid_water.f90, land_surface_model.f90) | Fabian
|
| PALM code | Implement PALM error messages in parallel random number generator module | Helge

|
| data_output | Set missing values/fill values inside topography and define these missing values as attributes in NetCDF file. |
|
| data_output | Make proper use of global attributes; especially do not write time average interval in title if there exists a specific attribute (time_avg) for this. |
|
| PALM code | for consistency reasons, implement "initial gradient" top boundary conditions for the mixing ratio too | Fabian
|
| RRTMG coupling | allow for dry runs with RRTMG (might lead to unrealistic results if the atmosphere is considered totally dry!) | Björn
|
| 1d-model | fix 1d model to work without Coriolis force |
|
| PALM code | allow more flexible vertical grid stretching, e.g. for having near-surface stretching, constant grid spacing above and again stretching in the free atmosphere |
|
| check parameters | with psolver=multigrid, check that the subdomains can be divived by 2 at least once (see documentation of the multigrid). Is this still a problem? Needs to be checked. |
|
| Spectra output | Check and possibly revise spectra normalization with wavenumber |
|
| Initialization | It needs to be clarified that the initial wind profile constructed by ug_surface, ug_vertical_gradient etc. describes the forcing by the geostrophic wind (pressure gradient), and at the same time depicts the initial actual-wind profile. |
|
| PALM scripts | Not all SCRIPTS bash based yet. |
|
| palmrun | make working directory independent from installation directory | Siggi
|
| NAMELISTs | it should be possible to give output levels in real coordinates (m) instead of grid level, output should then be done for the nearest grid point |
|
| data_output | all output checks should be done BEFORE the first time step, and not when the first output is done |
|
| Nesting output | additional output of nesting information is required (e.g. in header): for root domain: number of nested domains, name of nested domains, number of nesting levels; for each domain: position of the nest domains given in grid index number range, e.g. (20..40,10:15), also position of lower left corners in physical coordinates? |
|
| PALM code | routine global_min_max does not work for mode 'min', 'max', and 'minmax'. | Tobias
|
| PALM code | discuss using Fortran Intrinsic Function "SUM" instead of loops as done many times in the code | all (KS)
|
| initializing_actions | discuss use of initializing_actions='user', because its usage requires good code knowledge and the advantage over using 'set_constant_profiles' and later overwriting variables in user_init_3d_model.f90 is not clear | all (KS)
|
| PALM code | Revise Fortran NAMELIST names (e.g. &inipar --> &initialization_parameters) | Björn
