Change constituent properties parsed from standard name?

Open peverwhee opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Description

DISCUSSION SOLICITED The following constituent properties are currently parsed from the standard name:

  1. volume mixing ratio vs mass mixing ratio vs. number_concentration -> parsed from standard name and saved to properties%const_type
  2. moist vs wet vs dry -> parsed from standard name and saved to properties%const_water

Alternative options

Do we want a different approach to one or both of these long-term?

  • const_type could be determined by units - not necessarily auto-converted
  • const_water could be an additional metadata field (like advected); would function the same, but standard name would not include _wrt_dry_air, etc.
