Questions about setting up DYCOMS verification experiment about atmosfoolery.jl HOT 4 OPEN

Modeling groups were also asked to standardize their thermodynamic calculations so that the initial state corresponded to a cloud layer between 600 and 800 m with qₗ ≈ 0.45 g/kg at cloud top.

Hmmm, how do we impose or diagnose this?

Also not sure what rₗ is in equation (4)

After discussing with @thabbott:

1. We'll add a second gas but it'll be condensible so it'll enter the energy equation a little differently. For now we can add a non-condensible water density. Then you diagnose water vapor from the saturation vapor pressure. There should be an equation for diagnosing liquid water potential temperature.

2. Separate u = U + u` and add forcing terms to the momentum equation.

3. Add both fluxes as energy fluxes, and add latent heat flux to water density.

4. Radiative flux is added like (F_in - F_out) / dz.

5. ρrₗ might be liquid water path which we can diagnose.
