• Full radiation every hour vs 2h15 for the old version Recalculation of the geopotential height at initial time (diagnostic using model operators) Limitation of the snow depth over sea ice and glaciers Bug correction for minimal ice thickness over lake New climatology for sea-ice thickness New criteria to specify 0 deg. temperature for sea surface temperature using sea-ice and vegetation information Upgraded version of the boundary layer computation code in the surface layer Improved code for cloud radiative properties Orography adjustment for surface temperature analysis used in land surface assimilation Bug correction for radiation related to radiative budget near the surface Adjustment to the infrared and visible radiation equilibrium near the model’s top Lagrange cubic instead of splines for vertical interpolation in Semi-Lagrangian scheme High-resolution sea surface temperature analysis using more satellite data Implicit version of low-level blocking
