Remaining issues and tests for explicit diagnostic EDMF

[szy21]

Here is a list of what we still need to add or check for diagnostic EDMF:

• Closures
  • Fix the closures with topography (it should always use z - z_sfc)
  • Add nonhydrostatic pressure drag Add nonhydrostatic pressure drag for diagnostic edmfx #1800
  • Add prandtl number calculation Add prandtl number calculation #1955
  • Use pi group entrainment and detrainment
  • Fix the shear term (right now it is not accurate with topography or stretched grids)
  • Check physical vertical velocity used in closures
• SGS fluxes
  • Add diffusion for vertical velocity Change vertical diffusion of grid-scale horizontal momentum #1859
  • Add momentum mass flux Add edmfx momentum flux to grid-mean tendencies #1736
• Cloud diagnostics
  • Add covariance calculation Add covariance for cloud fraction diagnostics #1909
  • Add other cloud diagnostics (e.g. q_liq, q_ice)
• Documentation

Here is a list of physical tests we want to have:

• Box
  • Bomex
  • Dycoms
  • Rico
  • Stable boundary layer Add GABLS for diagnostic EDMF #1960
  • TRMM Add TRMM for diagnostic EDMF #1957
  • Add LES comparison
• Sphere
  • Aquaplanet with clear-sky radiation and zonally symmetric SSTs
  • Aquaplanet with clear-sky radiation and zonally asymmetric SSTs
  • Aquaplanet with all-sky radiation and zonally symmetric SSTs
  • Aquaplanet with all-sky radiation and zonally asymmetric SSTs
  • Aquaplanet with all-sky radiation, zonally symmetric SSTs and topography
  • Aquaplanet with all-sky radiation, zonally asymmetric SSTs and topography
