This bugfix release addresses several issues in the MPAS-Atmosphere model:

  • Generalize the mpas_sphere_angle function to provide correct results for non-unit-radius spheres. This generalization fixes problems in remapping static fields to the outermost layer of specified-zone cells in limited-area meshes. (PR #1148)

  • Initialize mvd_r and mvd_c before first use in the Thompson microphysics scheme to prevent the potential use of uninitialized memory, which could lead to floating-point exceptions. (PR #1152)

  • Correct the units for the grid scale input field to the Thompson cloud fraction scheme. (PR #1153)

Acknowledgements: Thanks are due to Brett Wilt (The Weather Company) for first identifying the bug in the units of dx_p in the call to the Thompson cloud fraction scheme.
