@mshiv mshiv commented Feb 7, 2024

This PR replaces an existing ice shelf basal melt parameterization method and adds a basal melt variability input field, both in support of test cases where MALI is forced directly from the basal melt variable.

  1. Draft-dependent basal melt parameterization method:
  • The draft_dependence method is introduced to calculate basal melt as a function of ice shelf draft.
  • It replaces the previously define seroussi method. A key difference is that these coefficients are now expected as user-defined input fields, allowing for spatially varying coefficient values.
  • In its current form, this is a linear function with two coefficients, draftDepenBasalMeltAlpha0 (intercept parameter) and draftDepenBasalMeltAlpha1 (slope parameter).
  • These coefficients are presently time-independent, and defined via offline pre-processing (regressing basal melt with draft)
  • Currently, this method is used when MALI is forced directly using the ice shelf basal melt (floatingBasalMassBal) variable.
  1. Input field for basal melt adjustment:
  • A new variable floatingBasalMassBalAdjustment is defined, also as a user-defined input field.
  • When MALI is forced directly by floatingBasalMassBal, this adjustment field can be used to add basal melt forcing components that are not draft dependent. For example: linear trend, seasonality, internal climate variability components.
  • This can be a spatially and temporally varying 3-dimensional field.

@mshiv , thanks for putting this PR together. After looking over it again, I have a few more requests. Also, please update the description of the PR (on the main PR page below the PR title) with a few details:

  • describe how/why the slope and intercept are fields rather than namelist options
  • describe the new floatingBasalMassBalAdjustment field, which is not directly related to the depth-dependent melt param.
  • explain that this new method is replacing the 'seroussi' option

Is there a configuration that makes this equivalent to config_basal_mass_bal_float = 'seroussi'? We will need to update several COMPASS tests in full_integration that currently use seroussi:

00:11 FAIL landice_thwaites_fo_decomposition_test
00:13 FAIL landice_thwaites_fo_restart_test
00:08 FAIL landice_thwaites_fo-depthInt_decomposition_test
00:07 FAIL landice_thwaites_fo-depthInt_restart_test

All other tests passed validation and baseline comparison.

It's not clear what the difference is between floatingBasalMassBalAdjustment and draftDepenBasalMeltAlpha0. The descriptions need more detail. For which cases is floatingBasalMassBalAdjustment used?

Technically, they are similar in that they are both added to the product of draft and draftDepenBasalMeltAlpha1. Main difference is that draftDepenBasalMeltAlpha0 (and draftDepenBasalMeltAlpha1) is time independent while floatingBasalMassBalAdjustment can be time dependent, with the latter being read in via a forcing file input stream.

draftDepenBasalMeltAlpha0 and draftDepenBasalMeltAlpha1 are maps derived via a regression of basal melt with draft.

floatingBasalMassBalAdjustment is treated as an optional additional basal melt forcing value - in the context of the AISLENS experiments, it includes time varying basal melt forcing that can have secular/seasonal trends and variability, or a combination of them. Will update the main description above as well.

To be completely accurate, this should probably treat dynamic and non-dynamic cells differently. Melt rates for non-dynamic cells should probably be calculated using the draft values from neighboring dynamic cells. @matthewhoffman, what do you think?

I think we should probably be doing that, but if we include that, it should probably be done for all melt options. Looks like we sort of say we are doing that at line 586 but it's not actually doing it. Or maybe it should happen where BMB is actually applied, using the dynamic mask that exists at that point. I think that should be a separate PR, given it would change the application of all melt rate methods.

That might require a rewrite of draft_dependence to include the sillDepth and maxMeltSer parameters defined in seroussi. Would it be worth doing that, @matthewhoffman?
