What was new with CLM4 in CESM1.0.2 (in CESM1.0.2) since the September 17th, 2010 CESM1.0.1 release?

Since, CLM4 in CESM1.0.1 in the CESM1.0.1 release there were several developments made to CLM4 in CESM1.0.2. Several new namelist items were added a few new history fields. There were also some updates for running the model with single-point mode.

Configuration options that were renamed:

prog_seasalt => progsslt

Namelist items removed:

prog_seasalt => progsslt

What was new with CLM4 in CESM1.0.2 Science since CLM4 in CESM1.0.1?

A long simulation at the course resolution of T31 (typically used for Paleo-climate studies) was done and an spun-up initial condition file was provided for this resolution (also by default the namelist variable ice_runoff was turned off for T31). Also a new surface dataset and transient land-cover dataset was provided for half-degree resolution.

What was new with CLM4 in CESM1.0.2 Software since CLM4 in CESM1.0.1?

New configuration options

sitespf_pt

sitespf_pt is used for single-point/regional mode and is set to the site-name that will be used (see the config_definition.xml for the list of valid options).

Configuration options that were renamed:

prog_seasalt => progsslt

Namelist items removed:

faerdep
fndepdat
fndepdyn
use_ndepstream

Nitrogen deposition datasets are now only entered through the ndepdyn_nml namelist (removing fndepdat, fndepdyn, and use_ndepstream). Aerosol deposition is now a required input from the atmosphere model, hence faerdep is removed.

New history fields:

U10 10-m wind (m/s)
U10_DUST 10-m wind for dust model (m/s)
VA atmospheric wind speed plus convective velocity (m/s)
VOLR RTM storage: LIQ (m3)
VOLR_ICE RTM storage: ICE (m3)
