1. Bug Fixes in Version 5.06b_3 (08.11.19)

Fix in the Graupel Scheme
(by M. Baldauf)

The terminal fall velocity of snow/rain/graupel is limited, since the particles have a minimal size. This fact is considered at least in the lowest level.

Fix in organize_assimilation.f90
(by U. Schättler)

Replaced variable nal (which is not initialized) by nav.

Fix in src_input.f90
(by U. Schättler)

Added leveltype 25 to possible levels for restart fields (for proper restart of ECHOTOP).

2. Bug Fixes in Version 5.06b_4 (03.12.19)

More bug fixes have been implemented:

Restart in case of itype_canopy=2

The field SKT was not considered for restarts yet. This has been fixed.

Fix in data_io.f90

When running with COSMO_ART, a declaration statement was missing the INTEGER

Fix in radiation_utilities.f90

Computation of variable zcosphi for the zenith angle in module radiation_utilities.f90, subroutine compute_sunshine_conditions:

There are problems with single precision, computing
zcosphi(ip,jp) = COS (rlat(i,j))
on Cray xce: Therefore we limit the result value zcosthi in this loop to 1.0.

Fix in sfc_flake.f90

Some security constraints are modified (SUBROUTINE flake-driver).

Fix in src_block_fields.f90

Set blockFieldTableSize depending on COSMOART

4. Changes of Results

Graupel Scheme: The limitation of the terminal fall velocity potentially changes the results.
