Description

This PR introduces positive-definite Total Variation Diminishing (TVD) mass-flux methods recently developed at NOAA/EMC (Jongil Han) to improve tracer transport in EDMF-TKE PBL schemes and SAMF cumulus convective parameterizations.

Such methods do not generate negative values for tracer mixing ratios during convective transport. The updated code may still generate very small (1.E-15) negative values during PBL mixing.

Please see ccpp-physics issue #753 and associated PR #754 for additional information.

Issue(s) addressed

• fixes Implement positive-definite TVD mass-flux algorithm for tracer transport in PBL and cumulus convective schemes #853
• fixes Introducing positive-definite TVD schemes for improved PBL and convective tracer transport NCAR/ccpp-physics#753

Testing

The changes were tested on Hera/Intel and Orion/Intel.

Preliminary regression tests were run on Hera/Intel. Note that this PR will change the regression test baseline.

@rmontuoro please also change the BL_DATE in rt.sh to 20211108 for the new baseline.

[climbfuji]

@junwang-noaa I think we are ready to create new baselines. I'll add the hera-intel/gnu BL labels.

[junwang-noaa]

I am running RT on dell and cray.
