Known issues with the current release



Changelog between v2023r2 and v2023r3
  • Fixed issue for restart of simulations containing pollen species
  • A fix for a conversion issue for the zenithal angle calculation
  • Fixing an inconsistency between “runwrfonly” mode and the “imakemeto” flag
  • Fixed issue for Lidar outputs
  • Fixed "bnum" calculation when on dust only mode
  • Cumulative precipitation in output instead of hourly because of incontinency between WRF and CHIMERE outputs (and fixing its unit)
  • Fixing an issue with s and p tasks (if ran separately) in case of an offline run
  • Adding some securities for domain creation Removing the reading of families in case of a nested run (since they get recalculated and they’re diagnosed variables)
  • Adding the possibility of forcing WRF with ERA5 (see scripts page for an example of a download script for ERA5 data)
  • A debug for a an indexing issue in the absorption routine (would impact higher bin numbers)
  • Removing the rewriting of “coarsedir” if explicitly given in chimere.par at any place of the file
  • Fixing an issue with the output and units of surface latent heat flux and surface sensible heat flux
  • Better management of nesting (supports “nmaxdom” >3 now)
  • Several small/cosmetic/code clarity fixes

    Everything from point seven below in this table is already in v2023r3.
