Description
This PR adds the Planetary Boundary Layer Height (PBLH), also known as the atmosphere boundary layer thickness (m), to the Import and Export state of ROMS and WRF ESMF-based NUOPC coupling modules. The PBLH is defined as the height of the turbulent mixed layer of the atmosphere in contact with the Earth's surface. The PBLH is crucial in computing turbulent heat, moisture, and momentum fluxes.
In bulk_fluxes.F is used to estimate wind gustiness:
This option is possible when
BULK_FLUXES
andPBLH
are activated during ESMF coupling usingFRC_COUPLING
andWRF_COUPLING.
