A new boundary layer scheme (NCEP TKE-based eddy-diffusivity mass-flux scheme) is being implemented in the prototype-AM5 model, and it requires five additional surface variables (shflx, lhflx, wind, thv_atm, and thv_surf) as inputs. Thus, I would like to add a few lines in the atmos_driver (coupled/atmos_model.F90) to pass these variables into the physics driver. (A "ifdef" statement is added to maintain backward compatibility with AM4's physics driver).
This issue is associated with the issue I just opened for the FMScoupler repository.
