Description

Add a namelist option in GFS TKE EDMF PBL scheme to apply an approximate way to represent local mixing/diffusion process in T-equation using liquid/ice water potential temperature.

Issue(s) addressed

Link the issues to be closed with this PR, whether in this repository, or in another repository.
(Remember, issues should always be created before starting work on a PR branch!)

Testing

How were these changes tested?
What compilers / HPCs was it tested with?
Are the changes covered by regression tests? (If not, why? Do new tests need to be added?)
Have the ufs-weather-model regression test been run? On what platform?

  • Will the code updates change regression test baseline? If yes, why? Please show the baseline directory below.
  • Please commit the regression test log files in your ufs-weather-model branch

Tests already made for HAFS application

Dependencies

If testing this branch requires non-default branches in other repositories, list them.
Those branches should have matching names (ideally)

Do PRs in upstream repositories need to be merged first?
If so add the "waiting for other repos" label and list the upstream PRs

@WeiguoWang-NOAA If this can only ever be 0 or 1, can this be a logical instead?

@grantfirl I would prefer to use an integer. Other different approximations could be developed in the future.
