If available, plot climatology of total melt rate

[xylar]

Also plot constituents: the melt rate at the interface and the frazil flux below ice shelves.

This is to support changes in E3SM-Ocean-Discussion/E3SM#79

[xylar]

I still need to make these changes to the timeSeriesAntarcticMelt analysis.

Testing

I ran analysis on an old simulation to ensure backwards compatibility:
https://web.lcrc.anl.gov/public/e3sm/diagnostic_output/ac.xylar/analysis/total_fwf/20240223.v3.LR.CRYO1850-DISMF.paolo.chrysalis/ocean/index.html#antmelttime

Then, I ran analysis on a new simulation with the branch from E3SM-Ocean-Discussion/E3SM#79:
https://web.lcrc.anl.gov/public/e3sm/diagnostic_output/ac.xylar/analysis/20240226.CRYO1850.ne30pg2_r05_IcoswISC30E3r5.include_frazil.chrysalis/yrs_5-5/ocean/index.html

Both worked as expected. No errors were raised with the old simulation and the plots for the missing variables simply do nothing.

For the analysis on the new simulation, comparison with observations only occurs for the total flux, not the interface melt rate (or the frazil flux).

I verified that the expected variable is used in the melt time series for each analysis run -- the old timeMonthly_avg_landIceFreshwaterFlux if necessary but the new timeMonthly_avg_landIceFreshwaterFluxTotal if available.

@irenavankova, do you want to have a look at this as well?

[xylar]

The test suite ran successfully, see https://web.lcrc.anl.gov/public/e3sm/diagnostic_output/ac.xasay-davis/analysis_testing/chrysalis/switch-to-land-ice-freshwater-flux-total/

[cbegeman]

I just made a couple minor suggestions. Otherwise, I think this looks good!

[irenavankova]

For the Antarctic Melt Time Series, if the new variables aren't available, do you still want the header of the section to read
Total Melt Flux although it is only calculated from interface melt flux? I guess the problem is that in here total means area integral whereas in landIceFreshwaterFluxTotal total means frazil+interface

[xylar]

Yes, I realized there's that conflict in meaning. We've been using "total flux" for a while to mean the integrated flux. But we could change it to integrated instead for clarity.

[xylar]

@irenavankova and @cbegeman, I believe I've addressed your suggested changes. Could you take a look at
https://web.lcrc.anl.gov/public/e3sm/diagnostic_output/ac.xylar/analysis/total_fwf/20240223.v3.LR.CRYO1850-DISMF.paolo.chrysalis/ocean/index.html
and
https://web.lcrc.anl.gov/public/e3sm/diagnostic_output/ac.xylar/analysis/20240226.CRYO1850.ne30pg2_r05_IcoswISC30E3r5.include_frazil.chrysalis/yrs_5-5/ocean/index.html
and let me know if things now look good to you?

[irenavankova]

This looks good to me.

[cbegeman]

I agree. Thanks for making those changes!

[xylar]

Thanks so much @cbegeman and @irenavankova!

[irenavankova]

I have one comment here - the title on frazil plots is a bit too long. The result is that the width of the figure changes based on the season. What that means is that it is not as easy to visually compare seasonal changes by flicker the figures. Just a detail though.

[xylar]

Okay, I can make another PR to fix that.
