Dear WRF community,
Thanks for your attention, I am not familiar with WRF dynamics codes, so please pardon me if these questions are quite basic. I want to add a macrophysics scheme to my model. The macrophysics scheme would modify the T (temperature), qv (mixing ratio), ql (cloud water mixing ratio) and qi (cloud ice mixing ratio). The macrophysics scheme is called by module_first_rk_step_part1, just like other physical schemes (radiation, surface, PBL, cumulus). But I am confused about T, qv, ql and qi modifies in physical processes.
I guess there is a part of codes calculated the sum of T, qv, ql and qi modifies in physical processes in one time step. Just like “tend = RTHRATEN+RTHBLTEN+RTHCUTEN+RTHSHTEN” ? And where are the codes? I am not sure if this guess is correct.
Or the T, qv, ql and qi modify are calculated in every physical process, that is, for example the “t_phy” is modified in radiation_driver, but the “t_phy” is just “intend(in)” in code, and if so, what is the role of RTHRATEN? Just for diagnosis?
I appreciate any help. Thank you very much!
