  • This updates add wet and dry deposition fluxes for tracer alk and
    registers diagnostics for them

  • This update by itself should not change anything in the models. It only prepared COBALT to receive the alk fluxes when the ATM alkalinity fluxes are ready and sent down.

  • atmos_phys repo branch alkalinity_deposition_flux atmos_dust.F90
    prepares these fluxes on the ATM side to be received by alk.

  • Currently these fluxes are set to 0 till the alkalinity content of
    dust fluxes is formulated in line 956 of atmos_dust.F90

    this? The default would be to assign a zero flux over the ocean, and
    the data override would be to assign a map of wet or dry deposition as
    an alkalinity flux. Jasmin and I discussed an alternative of creating a
    3D data override flux within the COBALT code, but upon further thought I
    believe that approach would both be much more work and less applicable
    to the long term goal of being able to simulate potential alkalinization
    of the atmosphere (which I think will also be proposed soon)."

  • There is also an unrelated minor change in generic_tracer_utils to allow using newer versions of MOM6

- replace obsolete interface post_data_1d_k by post_dataMOM
- This updates add wet and dry deposition fluxes for tracer alk and
registers diagnostics for them
- atmos_phys repo branch alkalinity_deposition_flux  atmos_dust.F90
  prepares these fluxes on the ATM side to be received by alk.
- Currently these fluxes are set to 0 till the alkalinity content of
  dust fluxes is formulated in line 956 of atmos_dust.F90

I made a PR to atmos_phys for the sending end of these fluxes
