+ | #* From AS: ''In the ancil ticket linked from #2513 (https://code.metoffice.gov.uk/trac/ancil/ticket/782) it says that GA7 depends on the old format files, and as far as I know this is still true. In the 3-step timeline suggested, we haven't reached step 2 unfortunately. That ticket was about ensuring GA8 did not use the old attributes. I believe that GA8 is due for release in the next few months (it has been a very long time coming), so UM vn11.5 may be the last version at which GA7 is supported. Do you mind waiting a bit longer?'' |

Bugs/Bugfixes (LA)
Open Bugs
# | Description | Ticket | Owner | Comments | Comments from this meeting |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
35 | Error in labelling: Surface resistance <--> stomatal resistance ? | UM:#1409 | Fiona O'Connor | Leave open. Garry Hayman started work in offline JULES. Still ongoing. JM found bug in SO2 deposition, where there is an inconsistency when changing tiles. Making progress. Leave open. GH gave update, has done a lot of work. Concerned it might not be bit-reproducable, but could be solvable. Encouraging to lodge existing. Resistances done as metadata. Not clear as to timescales. FOC to encourage Garry Hayman to start lodging JULES code piecemeal. |
Leave open |
101 | Errors in reaction rates and diagnostics | UM:#4466 | Luke Abraham / Scott Archer-Nicolls | There is a need to conserve science config for UKESM1, so changes need to be on a flag. Colin has been looking at DMSO, as this is not currently used in StratTrop but is in Offline. Might be able to merge the rate with CEJ changes, but best to leave the diagnostic issues as a separate change. LA, JM, CEJ, SAN to discuss offline and keep GM in loop. Use versioning system. Talk about further offline. Keep ongoing. LA to do with #103 |
Do for vn11.6. Quite a large ticket. |
103 | Incorrect indexing of tmprc array: ASAD_SPIMPMJP | UM:#4562 | Scott Archer-Nicolls | Breaks KGO - affects solver convergence. In practice doesn’t make a huge difference, but should go into vn11.4, but does change KGO. UKESM1 - small change might be OK - get in touch for advice - might be able to test with UKESM1 AMIP only. Check with Oliver Wild Could be rolled-up with #101 LA to do with #101 |
Do with #101 |
104 | Incorrect value for Rc for SO_2 deposition to open water | UM:#4635 | Catherine Hardacre | Got to be separate to #35, unless there is an idea of timelines. JM to find someone to progress bug #104. |
LA to follow-up with JM |
107 | Missing c_h2o conversion factor in offline_oxidants_be | um:#5118 |
Luke Abraham | Code is zq(:)=RESHAPE(q(:,:,k),(/theta_field_size/)) rather than zq(:) = RESHAPE(q(:,:,k),(/theta_field_size/))/c_h2o LA to take ownership and assess |
|
108 | Incorrect stash processing of GLOMAP load*, conc* and plume_scav diagnostics | UM:#4909 | Mohit Dalvi | To be Lodged after 10.6 Do after CMIP6 runs are finished (after Jan 2020) |
|
109 | Bug in dry deposition of CH4 for 13/17/27 tiles | UM:#4913 | Gerd Folberth | To be Lodged after 10.6 Gerd noted unusual CH4 output in CMIP6 runs. May need a rose stem test for H2 and CH4 drdydep code lodged at UM:#4157 Makes a huge difference to CH4. Needs testing. AJH or GF will do during vn11.4, progress for vn11.6. May need UKESM1 approval. |
Code is difficult to understand. AJH thinks GarryH is aware of this problem. ACTION: LA to ask GF to add more details to ticket UM:#4913 to understand the problem (bug #109) |
110 | UKCA solar-cycle routine does not pass NRUN-CRUN test | UM:#4828 | Luke Abraham | To be Lodged after 11.5 | Have a solution. |
111 | Cloud fraction array (cloud_frac) passed with wrong number of levels Array passed as (row_length, rows, :), so offset by 1 level under ENDGame |
Part of UM:#4822 | John Hemmings | Affects all ENDGame versions. To be Lodged for 11.5 | Do as separate ticket after #4822 committed. MD #5009 testing |
112 | delh2so4_chem is calculated incorrectly | UM:#5076 | Luke Abraham | To be Lodged for 11.6. Incorrectly "fixed" in UM:#3245 (Bug #87). All StratTrop+GLOMAP versions post vn8.2. Made worse post-vn11.4 if logical l_fix_ukca_h2so4_ystore is True. |
|
113 | Latitude bugs affecting LAM configurations | UM:#5119 | John Hemmings | To be lodged for 11.6 | ACTION: ALL to consider thinking about fixing bug #113 (see UM:#5119) |
Redundant Code (LA)
Code for deletion
PLEASE REMEMBER TO EDIT THE ORIGINAL REDUNDANT CODE TABLE AND NOT THIS PAGE
# | Description | Ticket | Remarks | Status | Timeframe | Owner | Comments from previous meetings | Comments from this meeting |

6 | Wet oxidation of SO2 in GLOMAP | UM:#4475 | None | PROPOSED | Medium-term | Colin Johnson | JM to look at this re: UKESM1 c.f. offline GLOMAP. JM to take ownership. | Still needed for CTM.
Relevance for standalone code and later coupling to CTM. |
7 | Updraft velocity - l_conv_tke | UM:#3668 | Proposed in December 2017. Approval being sought for GA series (likely GA8). | PROPOSED | Medium-term | Alan J Hewitt / Ian Boutle | ||
8 | All backward Euler chemistry schemes | None | Note that this is only for the “hard-coded” BE schemes. Quite a lot of work would be involved, but good as a longer-term aim. Note that problems for AQUM would need to be addressed first. | PROPOSED | Long-term | Luke Abraham | ||
9 | Deprecated UKCA netcdf attribute options | UM:#2513 | 'emission_type', string type attributes no longer recommeneded. Need some time for most new code to adopt these. Still used in AQUM files. | DEPRECATED | Medium-term | Nick Savage | AQUM are addressing the files. Have gone from operational jobs, have ticket to remove from rose-stem. LN to document. These have been removed from AQUM. AQUM work has been done. |
From AS: In the ancil ticket linked from #2513 (https://code.metoffice.gov.uk/trac/ancil/ticket/782) it says that GA7 depends on the old format files, and as far as I know this is still true. In the 3-step timeline suggested, we haven't reached step 2 unfortunately. That ticket was about ensuring GA8 did not use the old attributes. I believe that GA8 is due for release in the next few months (it has been a very long time coming), so UM vn11.5 may be the last version at which GA7 is supported. Do you mind waiting a bit longer? |
10 | ASAD families chemistry | None | Families chemistry has not been used for many years (since at least UM6.1. It is likely that it no longer works if turned on, and it complicates the code making other developments harder | DEPRECATED | Short-term | Luke Abraham | ||
11 | Dry deposition 9 PFT option | None | The 13 PFT option has been adopted for UKESM1. The 9 PFT option is possibly not being used at all. Proposed in June 2018. |
PROPOSED | Long-term | Alan J Hewitt | ||
12 | Remove explicit C_SPECIES constants and calculate these from M_SPECIES and the mass of air |
None | Will have wide-ranging rose-stem KGO breakages | PROPOSED | Short-term | Luke Abraham | ||
13 | Remove temporary logical l_fix_nacl_density Introduced at UM:#2405 |
UM:#3490 | Requires AMIP testing and a GMED ticket Could be accepted to GA9 |
PROPOSED | Medium-term | Jane Mulcahy | See JM GMED action | |

Update on UKCA API redesign
JH has been working on redesigning the UM-UKCA interface to remove the model specific coupling. His proposed design document can be found here:
JH: Focussing on structural tickets. Good progress made. Working on tracer handling and the environmental drivers ticket & trace gas mix ratios. STASH Tag98 still needed but now purely on the UM side. MD: Have been working on emissions. Emissions working without changing answers.
