- r2593: Account for the effect of kinetics in the fractionation by condensation of HDO at the surface
- r2594: Fixes and improvements in the Non-orographic GW scheme

Recent tickets: https://trac.lmd.jussieu.fr/Planeto/report/1
==============
- #87 : Move from "F77" calls to Netcdf to "F90" to alleviate problems with gfortran10+
- #88 : Make D/H ratio of northern cap water ice a parameter (used set?) rather than have it hard coded in hdo_surfex_mod
- #89 : Make Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water (VSMOW) a constant parameter (in comcstfi_h) rather than have it hard coded
        to 155.76E-6 in various routines
- #90 : Cleanup use of rnew, cpnew from module conc_mod : because these change at every time step they should not
        be set/read as module variables but passed to routines as arguments

-TODO: clean up the tickets (some are old and obsolete but not closed)

Hot topics:
==========

* Non-orographic GW with the thermosphere setup (Jiandong)
- all the bugs in the parametrization are now fixed (confusion between tendencies and increments,
  using rho in EPflux computation and including rho at launch altitude)
- Now will run the GCM and retune the parameters by comparing to MCS.

* Improving the dust cycle (Antoine)
- Did some simulations to compare with Joseph's with his start files.
  But with new dust cycle => got different results than previously
  Now finds a drier water cycle. Differences come from the scavenging parametrization
  with adds water to the system... => there is a big in the scavenging which adds water...
  (scavco2cond flag, which is .false. by default)

* Water conservation...
- To be continued...

* OpenMP:(Romain)
- most routines OK in OpenMP
- Latest tests show that 1/=1 with MPI with thermosphere... related to  euv heating

Gabriella:
- is stuck as starts from Joseph contain NaNs...

Tanguy:
- working on Mars2020 (supercam + microphone measurements)
- some NASA AMES GCM work (coagulation of dust)
- Bob Haberle is investigating temperature non-equilibrium between dust & atmospheric surroundings (AGU poster)

Francois:
- will organize a group meeting of MAMO local organisers on the first week of January

Jiandong: Here is the nonoro PDF I have show today second.pdf.

Hot topics:
==========

* Improving the dust cycle (Antoine)
- the test with I=1500 and albedo of ice/frost of 0.4/0.6 (7MY for now, still running) returned a very DRYING water cycle
  => maybe some room for a frost albedo between 0.4 and 0.6 to stabilize the water cycle at a reasonable level
- in parallel, he is running simulations at 54 and 26 levels to strictly compare the effect of the new dust cycle (Joseph is running these with the old dust cycle)
  /!\ compared to Antoine's previous simulations, these :
       use revision r2592 of the model (versus r2577) ;
       use converged state start files for the water cycle ;
       don't use non-orographic gravity waves ;
       don't use scavenging by CO2 ice ;
       have some differences on the dissipation and sponge layer.
  => still running, but seems to result in a drying water cycle, at the opposite of his previous simulations... to be confirmed
- Gathering his work for the annual CNES report

* Non-orographic GW with the thermosphere setup (Jiandong)
- achieves to run a whole MY under some circumstances, but with extreme variations (8e5K !!) for temperature during month 8, when the breaking level goes up 20-40km higher than usual (because dusty season)
  These extreme variations appears only in stats file, not diagfi...?? Month 9 normal.
  Sometimes it crashes at month 10, when these extreme variations reappear...
- will compare first months with MCS

Romain:
- OpenMP le GCM : only thermosphere left to do ! but gets some issues when he tries to implement it
- PEM : simulations with current ice caps and obliquity 40. converge well toward an equilibrium state, without oscillations !

Jorge:
- Analysed simulations around Ls120 at Ascraeus Mons, where obs detect elongated cloud
- On Arsia Mons : cloud pocket in the model, but bad representation of the cloud itself -> working on the microphysics with Francois (contact parameter)

Thomas:
- Looks at the mesoscale model to better compare with its MCD slope winds model
- Web page for retrieving full MCD version almost ready
- waiting for comments on his papers (solar panels)

Lucas:
- Has a bug in his subslope parametrization : sometimes atm temperature too low around the surface.
  + thinking on how to account for subslopes when going back to the whole cell : mean/sum, TCO2cond...?
- Would love physiq_mod to be cleaned up

Hot topics:
==========

* Improving the dust cycle (Antoine)
- ran tests for 10 Mars Years (with different thermal inertias, with albedo=0.4).
  Does not dry the water cycle enough,
  we are still too wet.
- tries with I=1500 and albedo of ice/frost of 0.4/0.6
- maybe test an GCM 5.3 configuration and/or go back to another choice of contact parameter

* Non-orographic GW with the thermosphere setup (Jiandong)
- WIP


Ehouarn:
- updated http://www-mars.lmd.jussieu.fr/mars/dust_climatology page with Luca's latest versions.
- will generate new "clim/cold/warm" synthetic scenarios using MY24->MY35
- actively preparing next week's LMDZ tutorial sessions

Aymeric:
- Armin might come and stay at LMD after MAMO.
- making mesoscale simulations for Jorge

Siteng:
- Updated data from EMM. Some weird warm temperatures near the surface around 4 am.
  Compares with MY36 simulations. Tests whether binning or not the data. Binning is probably not a good idea.

Antony:
- reruns the supersaturation study (1D & 3D) with the generic GCM for Early Mars
- working on hydrology

Thomas:
- Has a prototype of a webpage to order the full version
- slope winds in the MCD: found the bug, now it converges well.

=============
- None

Hot topics:
==========

* Water cycle conservation & stability (Joseph)
- OK now. At least in physics.

* Non-orographic GW with the thermosphere setup (Jiandong)
- working on the various parameter values.

* Improving the dust cycle (Antoine)
- TBC

Francois:
- with Lucas, adding slopes (added dimension for the 7 slopes) to some variables (tsurf, tsoil, q_surf etc.)
  this will be the opportunity to clean the code. Possibly also add the incrementation of tendencies throughout
  the parametrizations called by the physics at the same time.
- Question for Christophe about an if/else in co2condens_mod.F which could be cleaned up.

Christophe:
- simulations including meteoritic flux. Crashes at month#8. Added thermosphere & chemistry for a full test.
- paper almost submitted

Joseph:
- still a (large) effect of the dynamics on the water conservation: a few % over a year...
- worth more cross-checking.
- simulations at high obliquity have run. Ready to hand them to Gabriella.

Lucas:
- works on vdifc

Thomas:
- working slope winds in the MCD. Wants to add some improvements.
  some numerical issues as the results don't converge. Check the scheme? Check the intermediate precision
  (double vs simple)
- MCD interface: requesting the full version, try a new interface/submit approach.

Siteng:
- got some new data from EMIRS.

=============
- #25 closed

Hot topics:
==========

* Water cycle conservation & stability (Joseph)
- bug with watercaptag and sub-timestepping identified (in 1D). There might be other issues.
  Joseph will commit the correction.

* Improving the dust cycle (Antoine)
- tuning the combined dust & water cycle. For now too wet. Drying the water cycle will involve changing
  thermal inertia and albedo of frost towards more realistic values. The contact parameter function could
  also be improved.

* Non-orographic GW with the thermosphere setup (Jiandong)
- Looked thoroughly at the equations and way they are written and used in the code.
  Proposes some improvements about intermediate computations of altitudes and BV and scale height,
  and more stable evaluation of rho (including variation of r).
  Overall yields a good impact on the effect of the parametrization (more constrained to act on
  lower altitudes in the thermosphere than the model top).
- Other big problem: there was a mix-up between increment and tendency due to the problem.
- Retuning of the parametrization required, versus MCS and Maven data.

Jean-Yves:
- working on the ionosperic version of the GCM to compute escape.

Gabriella:
- running with iphysiq=5 or 10, several Mars Years. Looking at the water at given altitudes
  with some spikes in the north during summer, but perhaps looking at columns to confirm/invalidate
  might be better.

=============
- r2579 should resolve Issue #25

Hot topics:
==========

* Non-orographic GW with the thermosphere setup (Jiandong)
- tests with the non-oro GW scheme: crashes right away (at first physics step) as it generates crazy winds
  at the top of the atmosphere because the tendencies become too large as one goes up.
- testing behaviour due to other parameters (Cmax, Sc)

* Improving the dust cycle (Antoine)
- running 10 year-long simulations (currently 5 years done). For now most runs see to be getting too wet.

* Water cycle conservation & stability (Joseph)
- Two issues: 1) the thermals don't conserve total water and 2) the watercaptag=.true. case generates mass loss (in vdifc)

Francois:
- there will be reports for CNES contract to write soon (end of december)

Franck:
- In Edinburgh they work on chemistry with the 1D version of the GCM and will move to 3D.
  About installation/setup of the model: see the user manual + ask LMD!

Lucas:
- doing the sub-slope statistics.

Romain:
- Update on the PEM setup/simulations: looking at the reference 32x24 reference simulations which converges after 77 calls
  Presumably on a stable solution?
  Tests with various iteration criteria for the PEM steps.

=============
- #25: add hdo_ice in inichim_newstart.F90 => Loic

Hot topics:
==========

* Water cycle conservation & stability (Joseph)
- there is a problem in the diagnosis
- more testing required; multiple problems (1D case, 3D case over a long run)

* Improving the dust cycle (Antoine)
- we have a satisfactory setting, will do dedicated long run simulations to check the water cycle
  the main parameter is the ice albedo; injection is 24h/24h

Romain:
- starting to add OpenMP in the Martian physics.
- PEM: made tests with 32x32x26 or 32x32x26 simulations over 100 years (vs full simulations)
       testing with various stop criterion for the PEM iterations between GCM calls

Gabriella:
- simulations with thermosphere (49 "old" z2sig.def), find a strong increase of water around Ls=100
  around 80°N (as Francisco did) with iphysiq=10, MY26 dust scenario; possibly linked to the first dust
  events at that time of year which increase density (at fixed altitude)? Plus using microphysics and
  radiatively active clouds.

Ehouarn:
- runing MY36 simulations with thermosphere&ionosphere for EMM & TGO (Ls=0-90).

* Improving the dust cycle (Antoine)
- Looks a the diurnal cycle with injection at all local times

* Dynamico (Romain)
- meeting planned with Antoine and Ehouarn for an OpenMP parallelisation of the GCM (also useful for LMDZ)
- meeting with Ehouarn and T. Dubos to discuss about the coordinates and how to deal with them (i.e. how to create newstart for Dynamico)

Ehouarn:
- updated the reference "datadir" (https://www.lmd.jussieu.fr/~lmdz/planets/mars/datadir/ ?) to include dust_MY35.nc scenario and daily EUV values for MY35 (Francisco also provided EUV values for the beginning of MY36)
- working on improving checks at beginning/end of physics to also identify negative tracer values.  => the follow-up question is what to do about these then...

Jorge:
- ran the mesoscale model w/ Aymeric around Tharsis (w/o water ice in initial state from the GCM). They see in the relative humidity a really strong feature around Arsia, which looks more like the AMEC than their water ice field => look in the microphysics the effect of supersaturation (require a strong one to nucleii), play with the contact parameter (0.90), do some Lagrangian experiment ?
- is looking for observations to compare to the model and IUVS, especially concerning the expansion velocity (advection? wave propagation?)

Jiandong:
- runs a simulation to reproduce Gabriella's results
- will then play with the parameters

Thomas:
- worked mainly on the VCD web interface

Ehouarn:
- generated new reference start_archive files (from MCDv5.3 GCM runs). Closes ticket #82
- contacted Francisco to set up a "final reference" E10.7 EUV input file for MY35 (and early MY36?)

Lucas:
- want to change the dust forcing in the polar night in the dust scenarios (during global dust storm)
- looking at the statistics on slopes (for ERC project Mrs through time)

Siteng:
- investigating thermal tides from TGO/EMM missions. Running GCM  (MY35 & soon MY36) to compare.

Jiandong:
- running the GCM on Ciclad (and home computers) with full thermosphere to study upper atmosphere.
  (density of various species to compare to Maven observations).
- will run with the non-orographic GW scheme and try to tune it

Aymeric:
- Vincent Caillé is updating the physics in the Mesoscale model to test the CO2 microphysics.

Margaux:
- tested the water cycle (Joseph's version), gets a slightly different (dryer) water cycle than him
  after having run 10 years; looses water ~1% per year. Finds occasional ~1e-7 values of q_h2o.

Thomas:
- mostly working on the VCD and the web interfaces of both MCD and VCD.

Gabriella:
- runs with Joseph's tuned water cycle + chemistry ("old" 49 layers discretization).
  Note that chemistry can be initialized from scratch and should converge in less than
  a year (says Franck L.)
- for speed, will run with iphysiq=10.
- is the "thermochem" flag still active/needed or "photochem" flag suffices for chemistry everywhere?
  Most likely yes, but confirmation from Franck/Francisco would be nice.

Jorge:
- running the mesocale model (with Aymeric) around Tharsis to compare with GCM and camera images.

=> better documentation needed (says Lucas) about fields to output and/or def keywords.

Hot topics:
==========

* Water cycle conservation & stability (Joseph)
- Joseph did some tests in 1D (with all added parametrizations and without sub-timesteps)
  Possibly the problem is there also with a simpler setup...
- is writing the clean references def files for the water cycle
- it seems that with the new settings, the water cycle is less sensitive to vertical discretization

* Improving the dust cycle (Antoine)
- ran with injection at all local times... it does not seem to change results much. A bit better
  for temperatures. Vertical structure of dust overall not different. will look at the diurnal cycle of dust.


* Dynamico (Romain)
- Overall the setup works (tracers, restarts, etc.) temperatures, winds, etc compare well to TES & MCS.
- dynamico "newstart" is still needed; making stats-like outputs as well.
- pb: needs a smaller time-step with Dynamico than LMDZ
- tested the scaling (MPI-only) and finds, as expected, than domains should no be smaller than 10*10.

Ehouarn:
- will make some start_archive.nc from MCDv5.3 runs, but has problems getting the files
  back from the storedir on Occigen...

Gabriella:
- needs to decide to use low/high vertical resolution files

Sandrine;
- interested in looking into how changing the dust (total amount) will change the phasing of the thermal tides

* Improving the dust cycle (Antoine)
- cdod ratio between MCS column and GCM column normalized
 looking at median valies (means can be quite large)
 much more dust in GCM than MCS in the clear season (in daytime)
 more comparable ratios during nighttime

Romain:
- Planetary Evolution Model: stop substep criterion on surface ice change
  seems to work fine
- tests using lower resolution GCM to run faster (and to compare to full GCM-only run)

Christophe:
- 8 year simulation seems converged. To be further analyzed.

Sandrine:
- ACS Tirvim observations: thermal tides, looking at zonal
  temperatures => diurnal & semi-diurnal modes,
  compares well to GCM, increasing amplitude with altitude
  phase difference between GCM and Tirvim (by 2-3 hours)
  also compares during Global storm => larger amplitudes (up to 40k)

- #81: some "call writediagfi" (vmr_xxx, num_xxx) end up skipped because
  in an IF(callstats) section in physiq.

Hot topics:
===========

* Improving the dust cycle (Antoine)
- removed the "brighter dust" modification
- test simulations with reduced mountain fraction for topflows
- test simulation with lower maximum for dustradadjust (set to 3)
In both cases gets warmer temperatures than before and the
water cycle is better (due to changes in water albedo parameters)
- thinking about issues due to the extrapolation of MCS profiles
  when building column values in the dusty season. One could
  think of adding a correction.
- working on the MCs-normalization post-processing in the simulator
  (to match integrated dust between MCS and GCM outputs)

* Dynamico (Romain)
- Tracer initialization in the start files now using the start-archive files
  Still the model crashes after 0.5° of Ls

Romain:
- PEM: tests having substeps (of 1 year) in the extrapolation.
  with a stop criterion (surface ice amount change) when change is too large

Joseph:
- preparing EPSC. Water cycle tuning with frost albedo.

Aymeric:
- work on improvement of the online MCD interface following the brainstorm session
  last Monday.

  But from Gitlab Issues #23 by Gabriella:
  some "call writediagfi" (vmr_xxx, num_xxx) end up skipped because
  in an IF(callstats) section in physiq.

Hot topics:
===========

* Dynamico (Romain)
- Test with low resolution work well. Now testing higher resolution (nbp=40) but crashes after a couple of days
  Most likely linked to the initialization of tracers.

* Improving the dust cycle (Antoine)
- comparisons with ACS dust (and ice) profiles at low latitudes.
  Looks at the impact of the injected dust radius.
  ACS (quite noisy looking profiles...) sees high radius near the surface ~ 2um ,
  and detached layers at ~20 km
  Injection in the GCM of 3um dust works less well than using 2.5um
  Will test this configuration for other Mars years / scenarios.

Siteng:
- Thermal tides study with TIRVIM. Focused on MY35 Ls~100, LT 9am/9pm
  Looks at the dayly anomaly in data and GCM+averaging kernels
  Decomposition in various wave modes. reasonable agreement between data and GCM
  Impact of the sampling on the decomposition can be significant

Thomas:
- looking with Antoine at the MCD web interface: let's meet to discuss about some improvement
  next Monday 4pm or Wednesday 4pm? (if Aymeric is also available)
- finished the MCD6.1 beta ready to be delivered to ESA.

Joseph:
- just back from vacation. Has lots of commits to make in the near future.

Lucas:
- working on EPSC presentation and has a first draft of a paper on CO2 caps evolution

Romain:
- Planetary Evolution Model: in-between GCM simulations interpolation with a
  time step of 100 years. Finds local accumulation (with strongly unequilibrated
  initial conditions). Tests using 3 GCM simulated years rather than 2.
  Also needs to investigate how to constrain physically the extrapolation step.

Francois:
- Will be looking for 2 postdocs for "Mars through Time" in the coming months.

- #79: check if run.def is there and stop if not
- #80: zrecast should spot if "pressure" (or other field) is requested twice
>> Add "area" to zrecast outputs (Francois)

Hot topics:
===========
* Time keeping in the start files
Should be solved (waiting for Roland's feedback, just in case)

* Dynamico (Romain)
- the water cycle is now reasonable.
- comparisons with MCS temperatures are promising (better in polar regions than LMDZ).
- winds are quite different between LMDZ and dynamico.

* Improving the Dust Cycle (Antoine)
- TBC

Thomas:
- slope winds parametrization for MCD: comparisons with HR mesoscale simulations
  around Korolev: fails to well reproduce slope winds during the day.

Siteng:
- correcting for the seasonal change using GCM outputs doesn't work well
- at 10 Pa the model is overall cooler (~5-10K) than obs.

Lucas:
- surface pressure comparisons with landers. MSL deficit around Ls 180-270.
  mesocale prediction better than GCM (local circulation effects?); but
  differences also at Insight landing site.

Margaux:
- comparing GCM and ACS data (H2O) from Anna, during the storm, more high altitude
  H2O in the GCm than in the observations.

=> suggestion (Antoine): improve zrecast when user requests "pressure" which is also computed.
=> in some cases (Romain) the model crashes/stops but job continues until killed
=> when run.def is missing, the model should stop with a clean error message.


Hot topics:
===========

* Time keeping in the start files
Romain made the modifications & test and will commit.

* Dynamico
Romain: Too dry dynamico => the problem was in the initial conditions in startfi.nc
Fixes the problem for the beginning of the year. But way too much water is second half of year.
Checked that water is globally conserved until month #9, where watercaptag decreases in the south

* Improving the Dust Cycle
Antoine: looking at ACS data around global dust storm of MY34 (paper by M. Luginin and Anna Fedorava )
and will compare mass loading and effective radius with those computed by the GCM.
Plans to zrecast (high vertical resolution) or maybe use "profiles" utility

Siteng:
Sees large seasonal changes in the tides
Sharp change at the rim of Hellas in the waves from model.
Looks at substracting the seasonal effect from the tides.

Christophe:
Negative values of h2o_ice at he surface: re-ran 5 years from scratch, no negative values
But water cycle clearly not converged yet.

- #78: add some checking the validity of input fields coming from the dynamics
      at the beginning of the physics. => Ehouarn

Hot topics:
===========

* Time keeping in the start files
- Roland reports some problems when storing multiple time steps in restart/restartfi:
  I ran the GCM from sol 422 h 02 to sol 422 h 04, saving the start dump every hour.
  startfi.nc has day_ini = 422, hour_ini = 0, and Time = 0.083333 (=2h)
  start.nc is the same. OK I think.
  After running for two hours,
  restartfi.nc has day_ini = 422, hour_ini = 0.0833333, and Time = [0.04166667 0.08333333 0.125     ]
  restart.nc has day_ini = 422, hour_ini = 0, and Time = [0.04166667 0.08333333 0.125     ]
- we should probably just get rid of hour_ini altogether? => Romain

* Dynamico
- Crazy behaviour if optim -O3 or -O2 ... (-O1 seems to work)
- strange unphysical patches of surface temperature in test run (seems to depend on physics call frequency)
  => check again in debug?

Christophe:
- "solved" his problem (crash at month#9) re-running the code (updated version)
  => move on to iphysiq=5 (instead of iphysiq=10)
- convergence of results over 8 years of simulations with CO2 clouds, looking at the last 3 years

Margaux:
- Simulations with the "old" (32 level + iphysiq=10) model with HDO, move on to "new" (54 levels+iphysiq=5)
  or not?

Joseph:
- Water cycle tuning: influence of the contact parameter => temperature-dependent parameter
  Anni recommends the tanh() formulation rather than linear dependence
  But for now results are not better...
- Wonders about the possibility of having long term evolution of the aldebo of the long-term water cap
  (when frost becomes perennial cap)

Antoine:
- IR-vis opacty conversion coefficient computed online => ranges from 0.1-8 ! (instead of 2.6)
  Better (colder) temperatures (compared to MCS) but still not cold enough...
- looks at the brightness of dust in the visible (test with higher +1% omegaVIS wrt reference)
  => perhaps to test with constant dust ?

=> make a ticket about checking the validity of input fields coming from the dynamics
   at the beginning of the physics.

Hot topics:
===========

* Crash with unexpected unrealistic HDO ratio: (Jean-Yves, Margaux, Ehouarn)
HDO_ice ratio of 4000 from the dynamics
Problem identified (with isotopes) to comes from the dynamics.
To be continued...

* 1=1 : (seq == parallel)
- Now OK, as of rev 2531

Christophe:
- some crashes with negative geopotential when entering physics (after 6 years of simulation).
- nighttime CO2 clouds occur ~lon=-45 lat=0, but not when removing topography and diurnal cycles

Romain:
- comparing Dynamico & LMDZ with water/dust/co2 cycles on. => strangely the initial
  conditions mismatch
- dissipation fac_up =30 needed for dynamico whilst =10 works for LMDZ

Margaux:
- small study on the MY34 dust storm simulations, compared to MCS.
  vertical dust distribution => does not go high enough compared
  to observations (worsen by the microphysics), so tried injecting
  more dust in altitude to try to match MCS, but doesn't go the right
  way in 3D.
- option to try: use prescribed (Conrath) profile with microphysics

Antoine:
- conversion coeff from IRAbs to VisibleExtinction is usually taken to 2.6 inthe GCM.
  investigates other values (3.4 ==> 1 um dust, or 1.8 ==> 2 um dust)
  Significant effect on the temperatures ~10K; depending on the season
  Is running computations where the coeff is computed online based on
  GCM column opacities vs dust scenarios columns
- will do a sensitivity study on the brightness of the dust (omega)

Joseph:
- impact of temperature-dependent contact parameter: not much impact on the saturation
  => better water cycle, closer to observations, thins the polar hood.
- tested linear temperature dependence, but will check with hyperbolic formulation.

Thomas:
- compared Insight opacity and dust scenarios (updated to lastest versions);
  the decrease after the stormsis steeper in the scenarios than observed.
  And overall observed opacities are much higher than in the scenario most of the time.

Ongoing discussions:
===================

* Brutal drying up in the thermosphere issue: (Francisco, Margaux, Francois)
From Francois's checks, lowering the threshold in watercloud_mod to 1.e-16 is OK.
It should not be a hard coded number...e.g. real,parameter :: qpere_min = 1.e-16 which
is in traceur_mod.F
Margaux ran some simulations and confirms 1.e-16 works well. => Margaux will commit the update

* Crash with unexpected unrealistic HDO ratio: (Jean-Yves, Margaux, Ehouarn)
HDO_ice ratio of 4000 from the dynamics
Problem identified (with isotopes) to comes from the dynamics.
To be continued...

* Dynamico-Mars:
- XIOS output calendar: To keep it "clean" we tell it a timestep is 1s and that the
  number of physics time steps is the length of the day. And impose an output time axis
  labelled in days and fraction thereof.
- Loading tracers from start file now OK; requires reading a (new generation) tracer.def file

Lucas:
- MSL/REM pressure data & Insight surface pressure investigations
  will compare with GCM runs provided by Francois

Francois:

  compared to TIRVIM. runs with iphysiq=10; will test with iphysiq=5

Antoine:
- topflow runs. Ran a second year; seems quite converged wrt first year.
- MCS-GCM ratio when comparing DSO: does the extrapolation/column recomputation of
  GCM outputs to test versus MCS product to find if their is a constant ratio,
  but there doesn't seem to be...

Romain:
- is putting tab_control in XIOS outputs
- will now test Dynamico with tracers (i.e CO2, water, dust cycles included)

Ongoing discussions:
===================

* Brutal drying up in the thermosphere issue: (Francisco, Margaux, Francois)
Francisco found the problem comes from a drastic 1.e-8 threshold correction in waterclouds
Strong improvement in the upper atmosphere when setting this threshold to 1.e-12
Francois did some tests with 1.e-16 => does influence the polar hood, but the later is
quite variable from a week to the next
It also makes sens for HDO computations to lower this threshold.
=> All agree we should lower the threshold to 1.e-16
=> Francois will check saturation at 90K to target the value

* Crash with unexpected unrealistic HDO ratio: (Jean-Yves, Margaux, Ehouarn)
HDO_ice ratio of 4000 from the dynamics
Problem identified (with isotopes) to comes from the dynamics

* Comparing GCM runs with TIRVIM (& MCS): (Antoine, Sandrine, Siteng)

* Dynamico-Mars:
- what time to set when calling the physics from dynamico?
- what calendar setup to use in XIOS? Still needs to be checked due to restarts, etc.

Christophe:
- someone should make a utility to compute surface emissivity at 32um
=> open a ticket

Joseph:
- work on the present day water cycle: strong impact on the physics time step
  (as found by Margaux) which makes the water cycle drier. Some retuning needed
  frost albedo, contact parameter, variance of the distribution (won't play with that one)
- new vdifc for Margaux to test.

Siteng:
- started with the GCM on Ciclad.

Antoine:
- mountain slope flows parametrization => only the biggest mountains are now used (6)
  also did a test run with 19 biggest mountains (converges to similar results)
  still not very good in terms of detached layers at the beginning of the year...
- NB: for computations of DSO there is some latitude on choice of underlying factors
  for comparisons with MCS
- run more years to check convergence.

Lucas:
- Insight surface pressure measurement drift. Add a correction for sensor temperature
  and then 1st and 2nd years match
- some divergence with the model around Ls=300-360 to further investigate
- also looks at MSL pressure data over 4-5 Mars years
- checks the VL data and its interpolated derivation that is used to rescale the MCD

Thomas:
- MCD slope winds parametrization: putting it all together for all times of day
  and location. Still some problems in the night.

Ongoing discussions:
===================

* Comparing GCM runs with TIRVIM (& MCS): (Antoine, Sandrine)
Sandrine: obs TIRVIM vs "old" GCM (32 layers) and "new" GCM (54 layers) at 30 Pa, worse agreement in the latter.
          NB comparison is on observations grid (up to 1Pa); evolution of the diurnal cycle worse with "new" GCM
          => will use "old" (MCDv5.3 like) simulations for now. => rerun and output temp, wind, water, dust 24 times/day
Antoine: Comparions with MCS; "new" run seems slightly warmer (looking at 3am+3pm diurnal ave). Overall a difference
         in the phases seems slightly better in the "new" run.

* Brutal drying up in the thermosphere issue: (Francisco, Margaux)
Francisco is focusing on the simulation where it happens
Margaux is checking in various past revisions if the problem is still there. So far the problem always arises (even in 4 year old models). Has a test with 32 layers showing that the problem seems correlated to using the photochemistry...

* Crash with unexpected unrealistic HDO ratio: (Jean-Yves, Margaux)
HDO_ice ratio of 4000 from the dynamics
Problem identified (with isotopes) to comes from the dynamics

* 1+1=2:
Correction to the time axis / housekeeping needed (Romain)

* Dynamico-Mars:
- what time to set when calling the physics from dynamico?

* Calendar:
- ptime sent to the physics in LMDZ == end of physics time step minus1 dynamical step...
  e.g. first time the physics is called ptime=dt_phys-dt_dyn (andnot 0 or dt_phys)
  why not sent the beginning or the end date of the physical time step date?


Joseph:
- committed at noon today (r2502)the icelocation mode=4 case.
- the new vdifc doesn't reproduce old results exactly. Check if this is linked to the sub-time stepping
- investing the water cycle in current Mars changing mtot and albedo, always too dry during the second half of the year

Lucas:
- pb de calibration of pressure measurements on  Insight; also checking 4 MSL data over 4 Mars years.

Thomas:
slope winds in the MCD. had some problems (projection issues) with the Coriolis parameter. Fixed now.
Now uses the PBL heigh (with a min threshold of 300m) to compute reference parameter zfree0 for slope winds to
account for diurnal evolution, but results not that good. Perhaps add a multiplicative factor to the buoyancy?

  no huge saturation there, nor weird ccns...
  => Check if seting a minimum CCN number helps. Maybe check alsoif problem is reproduced in 1D

Antoine:
- toplows: setting up presence of "big mountains"
- looking at simulations (run_Insight 32 layers, old version of the model) and (run_TGO, 73layers, more recent)
  which give different temperatures. Differences in setup (apart altitudes): non_lte param is different,
  dissipation is different.
  run_TGO calls physics more often, sponge layer is also different...
  Largest difference between the two is the water ice column (more in run_Insight)
  Tides are a bit better in the run_TGO, compared to MCS.
  => Check the vertical distribution of clouds. Look more closelyat 30 Pa, 10 Pa.

Romain:

       la variable "time" n'est pas adaptée, a priori. Mais au final, pas de soucis si ca
       ne reste vrai qu'à lon=0.

Cycle de l'eau & chimie:
- Pb remarqué par Franciso perte de H2O vap dans la haute atmosphère entre sols 150-300,
  lié à l'apparition de glace d'eau (et températures basses); à toutes les latitudes
- Margaux: simulations 32 niveaux à 120km : ne retrouve pas les mêmes structures (le
           minimum en V) => lié à la thermosphère?
- Franck L: n'avait pas ce pb en mai 2019 (49 niveaux svn ???)

Joseph:
- emballement du cycle de l'eau à basse résolution même en basse résolution
  avec Mars actuel. Teste changement du paramètre de contact (m) pour voir
  si ça peut se corriger et en réduisant le pas de temps physique.
  => très grosse influence tu pas de temps physiue à basse résolution!
  Penser aussi au sous-pas de temps de la microphysique
- vdifc... à commettre (suites aux modifs/validation de Margaux)

Antoine:
- données MCS et comment bien les représenter dans le GCM.
  Les fichiers binnés de Lucas donnent bien la même colonne que les scénarios
  Arrive à un désaccord entre colonne recalculé dans le GCM via le mmr/reff du GCM.
  => regarde l'évolution des rayons effectifs dans le GCM
- chantier "topdust" qui génère de la poussière en début d'année vers -30° de lat.

Christophe:
- bug avec nuages CO2 rad. actifs. => plantages mais pas facile à reproduire car
  n'a pas 1+1=2 (même sans les nuages de co2!)
- zrecast: en coordonnées pression est limité par la aps du GCM. En altitude au dessus de
           la surface (e.g. 120km) des valeurs sont encore présentes... pb dans zrecast
           ou sur le pipeline de calcul?

Romain:
- Obtiens bien 1+1=2 dans le cas test du bench (nuages d'h2o+poussière+traceur co2)
  ou presque (? quelques différences très localisées et minimes...)

Francois:
- nouveau zrecast (qui peut travailler sans avoir la température en entrée +
                   interpolation des espèces en log + ...)
- Rob Lillis trouve des différences en estimant la température dans la thermosphère
  pour différentes espèces par rapport à la température GCM...
  Francois ne retrouve pas de telles différences + penser au fait que la dynamique agit aussi
  Francisco confirme qu'on récupère le bon profil de Température via les espèces
  Jean-Yves mentionne que la grille de la diffusion peut jouer un peu.
- rappel "zlay" dans le modèle (physique) devient vite faux à haute altitude
  (par contre est mieux estimé dans aeronomars)

Francisco:
- teste l'effect de la chimie ionosphérique sur l’échappement de H et H2.
  par moments la différence (par rapport avec simu sans chimie iono) peut
  être d'un facteur 4 (parfois bien moins, par ex en fin d'année)

Jean-Yves:
- simulations avec D et hdo. plantages dans la diffusion moléculaire lors de
  la reconstruction de l'altitude lorsque hdo_vap devient non-physique en bas
  du modèle (pb de conversion hdo_vap et hdo_ice ?) peut-être lié au fait de
  tourner avec 73 niveaux?

Thomas:
- toujours sur les vents de pente pour la MCD.
  regarde la sensibilité aux paramètres (dz/zlim, pentes, U*) et
  compare à des simulations mésoéchelle.
  Reste à trouver la bonne échelles des pentes à considérer suivant

- cycle de l'eau: stabilité/conservation sur plusieurs années.
  avec 18 années: variabilité de la colonne de glace d'un an à l'autre
  surtout entre sols 200 et 300
- conservation de l'eau d'une année à l'autre: légère dérive de 1e-5 relatif par an
  tests sans dynamique: meilleur conservation; ce qui nous rappelle que la dynamique
  ne conserve pas bien les traceurs... les thermiques sont apparemment aussi source
  d'un peu de non-conservation des traceurs...

- Pour EMM (insertion à 16h42, le 9 février) : on doit faire une base de données GCM en ligne pour l'équipe. A suivre.
- Siteng Fan (postdoc) commence au 1er février, mais à distance.

Antoine:
- Injection de poussières rds: la sédimentation prend le pas sur la vitesse radiative vers ~80km
  questions sur la vitesse de sédimentation différente entre masse et nombre...
- simulation "best guess" avec injection 8h-18h. Toujours des DSO plus élevées que MCS.
  en générale trop de poussière, qui semble fortement déplacées des zones d'injection

Thomas:
- vents de pente dans le MCD: tests en Real*8 donnent les mêmes problèmes donc va imposer le profil
  en log de vent pour calculer K.
- a contacté Ralph Lorenz pour les mesures de déposition de la poussière sur Insight.
- préparation du progress meeting ESA-CNES

Joseph:
- vdifc nettoyé et commenté envoyé à Margaux et Loic.
- simus du cyle de l'eau avec nuages radiativement actifs trop humide même à résolution "normale"

Antony:
- dynamico-mars: choix/utilisation des calendriers à finaliser. Simulations avec l'orographie sous-maille (ré-interpolée de start_archive) à venir. En attendant un retour de David sur l'outil SSO.

Christophe:
- simulations en cours d'analyse. Flux SW en haut de l'atm plus étendu (en latitude) avec les nuages CO2 radiativement actifs (par rapport au cas non radiativement actif). Les rayons des particules de CO2 sont de ~100 microns (sous la limite imposée à 500).

Ehouarn:
- dynamico-mars: mise en place de la lecture du z2sig.def via un système de plugin dans l'interface en cours; fera de même pour la dissip.
- simulations pluri-annelles : est-ce que le cycle de CO2 est stable sur n années de simulation avec MY34 (et clim?). Ca pourra rejoindre le stage de Luca sur le cycle du CO2 Insight.
- Francisco a envoyé une mise à jour de la chimie incluant le HDO. A valider et commettre.
- Contacté par Wuhu Feng (travaille avec John Plane) qui fait la modélisation de la chimie Mg, Fe, Na et obtient de bon résultats comparé à MAVEN.

- demande DARI A10 planéto à faire

Commissions récentes:
====================
- r2441: Ajout dans makelmdz_fcm d'une vérification de l'existence du script "make_scatterers"
         lorsqu'on utilise l'option "-s #" (rappel elle est obsolète pour Mars)
- r2442: Modif pour faire tourner "mesoini": le GCM en mode initialisation du mésoéchelle
- r2443: Utilitaire aeroptical: traitement de plus gros fichiers ("64 bit offset mode" NetCDF)
         calcul des opacités séparées des poussières (background,storm,..)
         calcul des opacités en absorption
- r2444-45: updates "mesoini" + mésoéchelle
- r2447-48: Updates nuages de CO2 (correction du rayon de sédimentation CO2ice) et effet
            radiatif des nuages de CO2

Tickets récents:
===============
- RAS

Tour d'écrans:
=============

Christophe:
- Commissions CO2. Ca tourne 1 an avec les améliorations mais sans activer l'effet radiatif des
  nuages de CO2.

Jean-Yves:
- comparaisons densité GCM vs NGIMS (2 deep dips). Simu MY32 (avec correction dist Mars-Soleil)
  bon accord vers 130km, puis surestimation à plus haute alt. (N2, CO2 et Ar)
  sous-estimation légère pour He.
  rapport Ar/CO2 et N2/CO2 en bon accord
  va poursuivre avec comparaisons avec d'autres deep-dips en MY33 et MY34, et regarder He et O
  plus en détail

Antoine:
- comparaisons Nomad-MCS avec Mike: graphes des comparaisons à analyser. Regarder si il y a de
  la poussière très haut (~80km). Pour Nomad l'erreur devient de plus en plus grande près de la surface
  mais pas trop grande à ~20-30km (dans les couches).
- simulation de référence lancée avec injection 8h-18h pour MY33 en cours.

Antony:
- RAS

Thomas:
- les vents de pente dans la MC: schémas itératif amélioré (résolution simultané de u_l et v_l)
  marche avec Coriolis et K fixé => besoin de fixer un profil de K, mais solution très sensible
  à K. Mais oscillations entre 2 solutions et besoin d'ajouter un rappel vers l'une.
  Peut-être se contenter de K constant?

Francois:
- finalise article Mars primitif avec Martin
- article Insight en finalisation

Aymeric:
- travaille sur la mise à jour du mésoéchelle
- a créé de "tags" sous git pour référencer des rev précises.

Ehouarn:
- RAS

- arrivée des stagiaires de L3
- Romain Vandemeulebrouck (IR CDD "Mars Through Time") commencera au 1er mars

Commissions récentes:
====================
- r2440: Ajouts sur les utilitaires concatnc et localtime: homogénéisation
         (et tests sur le "long_name" de Time pour savoir si sol/Ls)

Tickets récents:
===============
- #68: Ouvert puis fermé, utilisation enchainée des utilitaires zrecast -> lslin avec
       gestion des "missing values". C'est en fait OK depuis la r2432
- #69: Pb à la compilation, mais en fait lié à "makelmdz_fcm" lorsqu'on
       utilise (à tort) l'option "-s ..." alors qu'elle est obsolète pour Mars
       => corriger makelmdz_fcm

Tour d'écrans:
=============

Francois:
- version nouvelle de zrecast à transmettre (gestion des traceurs num_**) pour commission.
- à propos des Rocket Dust Storm: est ce que dans le mésoéchelle on a de la poussière qui
  monte jusqu'à 80km comme dans le GCM?
- a mis a jour le solar occultation database pour TGO + documentation (en ligne sur
  www-mars.lmd.jussieu.fr)

Aymeric:
- commence la mise à niveau du mésoéchelle sur les révisions récentes
- mise en place de tags sur git pour identifier les versions "utilisable" mesoscale

Antoine:
- aeroptical: calcul des opacités d'absorptions fait. A commettre.
- occultations solaires sur TGO: A priori pas de pb sur le sza.
- comparaisons Nomad-MCS: à reprendre.

Antony:
- pb avec la création des paramètres d'orographies sous-maille. Vois avec David Cugnet.
- teste en attendant en utilisant l'interpolation des paramètres mis dans le start_archive.nc

Christophe:
- le rayon de sédimentation du CO2: le pb vient avec un flux négatif dans le sédimentation à la
  surface. A élucider.
- a lancé un run pour tester l'ajout de l’effet radiatif des nuages de CO2

Joseph:
- regarde l'emballement du cycle de l'eau à basse résolution. La calotte de CO2 se sublime
  d'année en année avec l'accumulation de l'eau dans l'atmosphère.
- vdifc nouveau à commettre....

Margaux:
- finalise les livrables pour TAS-I pour l'EDL ExoMars
- travaille sur les retours sur le papier HDO; ajouter des comparaisons aux obs?

Thomas:
- les vents de pente dans la MCD: recherche d'une nouvelle façon d'approximer le vent
  pour initialiser le processus itératif.

Ehouarn:
- a fond sur TAS-I EDL ExoMars 2022. Progress meeting Vendredi 15h.

Commissions récentes:
====================
- r2439: Vérification de la périodicité (longitude ±180) des champs dans le start.nc dynamique
         et correction si besoin (c'est ce qui posait problème pour Vénus; pb. dans newstart Vénus
         vraisemblablement)

Tickets récents:
===============
- RAS

Tour d'écrans:
=============

Christophe:
- problèmes parfois sur l'ordre des utilitaires à utiliser; ex. localtime => zrecast
  => à préciser (ticket)
- simulation en changeant le rayon de sédimentation CO2cloud (utilisation du "vrai" rayon) et CO2snow
  ça tourne, reste à nettoyer et analyser l'impact du changement.
- transfert radiatif dans les nuages de CO2 à venir.

Antoine:
- travaille sur aeroptical pour calculer des opacités d'absorption (plutôt qu'extinction)
- occultations solaires de TGO => le solar zenith angle est il bien calculé? Et y a t'il
  un effet en altitude (soleil rasant à la surface, mais plus élevé en altitude)
- regarde l'impact du rayon effectif de la stormdust injectée (e.g. 1 micron au lieu de 3)

Antony:
- newstart dynamico: orographie sous-maille => pb avec le prog de David à élucider
- penser à faire un vrai "newstart" pour dynamico

Margaux:
- préparation pour EDL ExoMars 2022. 3 simus mésoéchelle faites + celle de MY35 à venir
  résolution 10km car avec 5-6km ça plante
- simulation LES déjà faite
- reviews pour l'article HDO reçues.

Ehouarn:
- préparation pour TAS-I , scénario "customisé" MY35 => scenario 201 dédié pour la MCD

Thomas:
- sur Vénus pour la VCD => schémas et prototypage en cours
- livrables ESA sur la déposition de poussière. Voudrait comparer à Insight sur 1 an.
- vents de pente dans la MCD. Tenter de rechercher une solution stationnaire via un
  pseudo schémas temporel n'est pas idéal; reste à trouver comment améliorer la convergence.
