Merge pull request #1427 from jtruesdal/water_budget
Correct a budget diagnostic printed in the coupler log files. The fresh water budget was missing a freshwater term associated the salt flux due to ice melt/growth. This salt flux should be represented as an additional freshwater flux in the coupler water budget. The complete equation for net surface forcing of the POP model is PREC_F+EVAP_F+ROFF_F+IOFF_F+MELT_F+SALT_F*(sflux_factor/salinity_factor) + QFLUX/lh_fusion1e4s_scaling The freshwater representation of the SALT_F term was missing from the coupler budget. I've added that term and verified that the net ocean fresh water budget better represents the freshwater tendency calculated by the ocean component. I doubled checked the net budget against the global salinity trend in a model run. The new term in the table for the missing flux is weqsalt which stands for the fresh water equivalent of the salt flux. Test suite: cime regression tests and a coupled run where I backed out the freshwater flux from the salinity timeseries. Test baseline: cime_master Test namelist changes: Test status: [bit for bit, roundoff, climate changing] Fixes #1429 Code review: Tony, Rob, and Mariana.
