This Draft PR adds a new gridcomp that runs ISSM, NASA's Ice-sheet and Sea-level System Model. The ISSM gridcomp is a child of the Landice gridcomp. This Draft PR was spurred by discussions in this issue, which provides an overview and outlines some other changes and development issues.
Overview of the new ISSM gridcomp:
Imports:
Exports:
*These are the main fields/forcing in the underlying PDEs. Other 'requested outputs' can be obtained from ISSM's binary output file by users with the python or Matlab interface if desired.
The ISSM gridcomp does two main things:
Major changes to landice:
To Do:
Discussions with @weiyuan-jiang and @mathomp4 suggest we may need to modify CMakeLists.txt for landice (and issm?) to "stub" the build in case the ISSM module is not present. See PR: v11: Build ISSM based on detection of ISSM #1206
Added output on mesh tiles via HISTORY: Feature/jiang/issm gridcomp #1209
Added capability to run over multiple ice sheets, see PRs:
Run ISSM over multiple input files (multiple ice sheets or glaciers) ISSM#3
Run ISSM over multiple input files (multiple ice sheets or glaciers) #1216
Add element coordinates to mesh tile locstream (elementCoords(1::2) and elementCoords(2::2) are the lon/lat coords for each element)
Fix exports: get issm exports in landice tile space #1212
Decide if ISSM should be instead be a sibling of Landice for future coupling with ocean (ongoing discussions)
