1/20:
GCM:
Mars atmos comp/cold dry, warm wet, etc. How to change?
-call Laura
-according to Laura, anything above 40 to 50 um will just plummet out of the sky
-I have nothing below that right now because of W&H's profile doesn't have much down there, but maybe we can find a phreatic profile with higher proportion of small grains that still Mars atmos friendly.
-Think I found a good profile.
-Also now have an idea now on how to change atmos to warm and wet.
-resolution of model may have also been too low so I've doubled it and am running now

-volume viz of 3E8 at high wind speed (50mps)
-rerunning at timesteps of 10 s
-Not as unstable as the no-wind scenario
GCM:
-compile with debug flag and look into out of range error
-Kind of a deadend. Lead me to callfis_p.f. Variable zdvfi out of range. Array is only 57 long, but trying to access 58. No idea where these numbers are coming from. Or what zdvfi even does. It only seems to be present in the compiled code folders (i.e. libo). callfis_p is full of uncommented code so not sure where to go from here
-Spoke with Ehouarn, I think we got things figured out!
-May be a deeper bug with the entire LMD model
-Write some intro LPSC things
12/16:

-What format will MATHAM accept as a profile?
-look up formatting in SKN's Fortran book
-Got it working!
GCM:
-proc 20 and 12 are both getting through code
-proc 20 is slipping through logic gate by means of what I'm guessing is some arcane shit. Computers don't work. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
-initialize mpi-volc before if statements
-That worked!
-initracer says it isn't finding volcano tracers.
-but pdq contains volcano tracers and I've verified that my code is adding values to the array.
-make sure you're running correct file
-negative pressure breaking everything. This may have something to do with initracer problem above.
-try putting first call flag around call to volcano in physiq
-also try running in debug mode.
-zdqvolc is filled with 8's on proc 0???
-try running model for a year or so, then running from restart files with callvolcan0 = .true.
-still negative pressure
-try running model w/o volcano tracers and w/callvolcano = .false.
-same but with volcano tracers still initilized
-proc 0 still 8s
-after 1st time step, 8s go away, but volc tracers are getting filled with numbers somehow. Every column, including h20 tracer columns.
-maybe problem with poles???
-Confirmed, negative pressure is occurring at North pole
-but if letting sim run for a while with no volcano then adding a volcano, negative pressure occurring not quite at north pole. Maybe its occurring in multiple places?
-Try removing firstcall flag from everywhere to see if problem is related to only adding ash at 1st time step
-same pressure problem
ATHAM:
Count the flaps!
-Seem to occur every 4 mins on average. Very regular!

-only sum values at grid point that have an ash concentration given by ash isovalue.
-Done. Still processing results
MATHAM
-reduce MER
-Raise max height
GCM
-check to see if spacing between lat/lons is constant from core to core
-Constant
-code up haversine great circle distance calc and halfspace check to find correct processor
-Done, haven't extensively tested though
11/4:
ATHAM:
-Look up Augusto Neri for potential isosurface
-for his PDAC paper, he uses concentration isosurfaces of 10^-4 and 10^-6.
-Implemented these with the 10^-3 one that was already present. They're fairly close to one another (especially 10^-3 and 10^-4). 10^-6 may be useful
-Run everything I have through new viz
-Some higher MER's don't seem to work with quantitative stability assessment
-maybe this okay because it's so obvious qualitatively?
MATHAM
-reduce MER
-Raise max height
GCM
-64x48 = 3072
-divided by 24 procs = 128 which is roughly size of lat and lon. Coincidence?
-check size of ngrid for each proc.
-print out procs 1,2,3 in geometry_mod. See how lats and lons change from proc to proc
-are lats split from core to core?
-rewrite code to find volcano proc
-loop through lats and lons. Calculate distance from each to volcano coords
-save smallest distance per core.
-core with smallest distance is the volcano core.
10/28:
ATHAM:
-Find how bulk density is being calculated
-Found it. Forgot I've already implemented it to make MER estimations
-I think everything's correct in regards to us thinking the bulk density is too small. Mixing happens quickly I guess!
-change isosurface value to something more realistic
-find in literature???
-change stability plane size-make bigger, see what affect that has
Dampens effect from plume. Reduces its importance
-change how stabiltiy plane is defined. Should be based on 100% scale
GCM
-have GCM print zzlev and nlay
-compare to MATHAM altitude levels
-implement MATHAM input and data wrangling in volcano.f90
-can use do loop to find length of input file
QUESTIONS:
-ngrid size in serial mode is (roughly) iimxjjm where iim and jjm are dimensions you set at compilation(e.g. 64x48)
-I think lat lon variables sort of follow ngrid in that their size is the same, but are indexed in jumps divisible by iim
-Is this because there are repeats in the lat lon variables? There are repeats in the latitudes in parallel
-In parallel, ngrid = lat = lon. The actual number varies by processor. What is relationship between lat, lon, and ngrid????
-Shouldn't latxlon = ngrid?
-But also, physics grid may be split up differently? but if that's true, how does Laura's code work
MATHAM
-Investigate why MATHAM sims are numerically unstable
-Check density calculation
-2E5 is fine, but 2E6 and 2E7 have the following warnings (I think it's one of meghans)
Mass/kg > Density
if ((sumtrac + sumtgas).gt.density(i,j,k)) then
-I don't think this warning is a huge problem, however the CFL number is also sometimes greater than one. Maybe the higher MER's are just too high? Either that or I've majorly screwed up my MER calculation and I'm actually inputting something ridiculous
-After review of 2E5 in MATLAB, can confirm, MER's are correct, but might just be ridiculously high for such a thin atmosphere. Plume heights blast through the top of the domain.
