  • Zero-diff vs. v17.10.0 (except for double vs. single precision differences of lat/lon coordinates and metadata in HISTORY output).

  • Science changes:

    • Catchment model with revised hydrology for peatlands (PEATCLSM) (PR #524, PR #515):
      • PEATCLSM hydrology is used for tiles with porosity>=PEATCLSM_POROS_THRESHOLD (default: 0.90 m3/m3) (Bechtold et al. 2019, doi:10.1029/2018MS001574).
      • In "NLv5" boundary conditions (bcs), peat tiles are identified through hybridization of PEATMAP and HWSD ancillary data and have porosity=0.93 m3/m3.
      • Standard Catchment hydrology is used for all tiles when using earlier bcs versions, which have a maximum porosity of 0.80 m3/m3 (De Lannoy et al. 2015, doi:10.1002/2014MS000330).
    • Modified EnKF update_type 10: for PEATCLSM peat tiles, "catdef" is included in EnKF State (PR #529).
    • Option to use climatological L-band microwave radiative transfer model (mwRTM) parameters derived from the SMAP L2 passive soil moisture retrievals (PR #521).
    • Option to use ensemble of surface meteorological forcing data (PR #453).
    • New export variables (WATERTABLED, FSWCHANGE, MWRTM_VEGOPACITY).

  • Interface change (PR #521):

    • Change in ldas_setup resource parameters:
      • BCS_PATH --> (BCS_PATH, BCS_RESOLUTION)
      • MWRTM_FILE --> MWRTM_PATH
      • Requires new or modified ldas_setup configuration (“exeinp”) files.
    • mwRTM parameter input file(s) must be provided in subdirectory “./[BCS_RESOLUTION]” and must be named "mwRTM_param.nc4" and (if present) "vegopacity.bin".

  • Infrastructure:

    • Updated environment, CMake, ecbuild, and MAPL (PR #537):
      • ESMA_env v3.11.0
      • ESMA_cmake v3.10.0
      • ecbuild v1.2.0
      • MAPL 2.18.0
    • GMAO_Shared v1.5.1
    • GEOSgcm_GridComp v1.15.1
    • Updated Circle-CI (PR #503).
    • Made GEOSldas infrastructure more similar to that of GEOSgcm (PR #501).

  • Documentation:

    • Updated README.md, README.MetForcing_and_BCS.md, README.OutputSpecs.md, GEOSldas_HIST.rc, GEOSldas_LDAS.rc.
    • Cleanup of Catchment model constants (PR #525, PR #517).

  • Bug fixes and other minor changes:

    • Output L-band Tb in single-member simulation without perturbations and without data assimilation (SMAP Nature Run) (PR #505).
    • Added utility script to compress bit-shaved nc4 output (PR #526).
    • Removed EXPDSC and EXPSRC from GEOSldas_HIST.rc template (PR #506).
    • Dummy GEOSldas version info in CMake (PR #516).
    • Set MAPL_ENABLE_BOOTSTRAP to YES by default (PR #523).
    • Avoid conflicts of ldas_setup with user environment (PR #518).
