CMDV Verification Tests

The following is a list of the currently available tests. Each test was initially documented in a Jupyter notebook and then converted to html. Currently, these tests are static, but this provides a framework that can ultimately post the results of regularly sceduled, automatically executed verification tests.

• HOMME Dynamical Core

1. Shallow water test case 1

• Albany Land-Ice (ALI)

1. 2D x-y first-order Stokes stress-velocity solver

• MPAS Ocean

1. Test for comparison between new and old MPAS run with model skill score

2. Test for comparison between cvmix run and PALM LES with model skill score and entrainment depth calculations

• Atmospheric Physics: Modal Aerosol Module (MAM)

1. Water Uptake: Finding roots of a polynomial equation

2. Condensation

1. (Verification) Gauss-Hermite Quadrature for Mass Transfer Coefficients

• Integration of 3^rd-order Polynomial

• Convergence w.r.t. number of quadrature points (draft)

2. (Verification) Time Stepping for the Condensation of H₂SO₄

• Semi-analytical solution (draft)

3. (Verification) Time Stepping for the Condensation of SOAG

   • Solution convergence under fixed stepsize control parameter (draft)

   • Solution convergence w.r.t. substepping control parameter (draft)

4. (Error Quantification) Rounded Gauss-Hermite quadrature points
