The bugfix release addresses two issues in MPAS-Atmosphere:

  1. The double-precision RRTMG long-wave table, RRTMG_LW_DATA.DBL, was inconsistent with the version of the RRTMG code that was included in MPAS-Atmosphere. The RRTMG_LW_DATA.DBL has been updated in the MPAS-Data repository, and the source code includes changes in the data checkout script to download the latest version of all WRF physics tables from this repository.

  2. In two places in the MPAS-Atmosphere solver, the upwinding coefficient for the 3rd-order advection scheme, config_coef_3rd_order, was incorrectly declared as an integer rather than a real. The bug affects the diagnosis of the covariant vertical velocity omega, resulting in the use of a fourth-order diagnosis as opposed to the third-order diagnosis consistent with the horizontal transport.
