Summary

  • Stability improvements. The model now uses a more robust time-stepping scheme, which should mean that it does not take unphysically large steps that lead to submodules becoming decoupled. There are also other safety-checks, such as re-running SPIDER steps if the attempted step size and tolerances were inappropriate. New convergence criteria have been implemented for steady-state cases which do not solidify before reaching global radiative equilibrium.
  • Documentation updates. The ReadTheDocs files are now more coherent, with tables for outlining the parameters and fixes to the installation instructions. The submodule AEOLUS has been renamed to JANUS, to avoid confusion with other codes.
  • Model output. Plots have been improved and tidied, and are now generally faster to create. The model now outputs its stdout to a log file as well as to the terminal. The GridPROTEUS tool now uses queueing and multiprocessing, such that PROTEUS can now be easily run many times in parallel across a parameter space.
  • Clouds. The model now includes clouds, through JANUS, although they haven't been extensively tested and are disabled by default.
