PEcAn.SIPNET 1.9.1

Changed

  • Breaking: Renamed the setting used to pass soil and hydrology parameters. write.config.SIPNET previously read these from settings$run$inputs$soilinitcond, now settings$run$inputs$soil_physics to better reflect that these are state factors applicable to the whole run rather than initial conditions. (Quianyu Xuan, #3406)
  • model2netcdf.SIPNET no longer writes separate <year>.nc.var files for every year of output. Use PEcAn.utils::nc_write_varfiles() to create these as needed.
  • The sipnet2datetime function is no longer used anywhere and therefore has been removed.

Fixed

  • write.config.SIPNET now checks more carefully whether an optional variable exists in an initial condition file before trying to read it, therefore printing fewer messages about (expectedly) missing variables. (#3545)
  • When passed a vector of multiple input paths, write.config.SIPNET was choosing one at random; it now throws an error (Blesson Thomas, #3298). Note that a single input path per call has always been the intended usage; being passed many was a second bug in PEcAn.uncertainty that is also now fixed.
  • Fixed a bug within the model2netcdf.SIPNET function where we assumed the constant calculations of pecan_start_doy across years (the calculations should vary depending on the last date from the last loop and the start date of the current loop), which will lead to incorrect calculations of the start sub_dates and sub_dates_cf if we are jumping between years (e.g., from 2012-12-31 to 2013-01-01).

PEcAn.SIPNET 1.9.0

License change

  • PEcAn.SIPNET is now distributed under the BSD three-clause license instead of the NCSA Open Source license.

Fixed

  • met2model.SIPNET() now stops with an error if the result contains missing values, which are not allowed in SIPNET inputs (#3474).
  • write.config.SIPNET() now consults PFT trait definitions to decide whether to initialize LAI in the leaf-on or leaf-off state, instead of the previous hard-coded defaults (#3419). Specifically:
    • a PFT with fracLeafFall > 0.5 will be treated as deciduous (previously hardcoded to deciduous for anything other than boreal conifers)
    • deciduous PFTs will get laiInit=0 if the simulation start date is not between leafOnDay and leafOffDay (previously hardcoded to May through September)
  • The generated Sipnet run script (job.sh) now works correctly, including across machines, when met/input/output files are specified relative to the working directory (#3418). Absolute paths continue to work as always.

PEcAn.SIPNET 1.8.0

  • Support for all Sipnet variables in read_restart and write_restart, for integration with state data assimilation workflows
