1. SNOWPOLINO

(by Sascha Bellaire, Varun Sharma)

The scheme has undergone another major revision for COSMO Version 6.0.

2. Data Assimilation

(by Christoph Schraff)

These changes are implemented as a result of occasional failures in case of short obs profiles from ground based wind lidar profiles. They also include another bugfix in the superobbing of profile observations. These changes will also be included in DACE and ICON (by DWD).

These code changes do not change the model results, only the results in the netcdf feedback files in case of short profiles.

  Adapted error output in SR check_t_plausibility, checking use of MPI.
• organize_data.f90:
  Added H_NEWSNOW_M to list of initial variables for itype_snow_start=0.
• sfc_tile_approach.f90:
  Removed unnecessary dependencies.
• src_setup_vartab.f90:
