WPS Version 4.1
This release includes the following notable changes:
* The addition of support for a MODIS 15-arc-second land use dataset with lakes.
- This dataset is described in
Broxton, P. D., Zeng, X., Sulla-Menashe, D., & Troch, P. A. (2014). A global
land cover climatology using MODIS data. Journal of Applied Meteorology and
Climatology, 53(6), 1593-1605. DOI: 10.1175/JAMC-D-13-0270.1
and may be activated by prepending the geog_data_res namelist option with
'modis_15s_lake+' after downloading the dataset.
* The addition of initial support for POWER systems running Linux with the XL
compilers.
* Adjustments to the RH field from GEFS data to be w.r.t. liquid water, as is
done for GFS, CDAS, and ECMWF.
* A change in the default mean sea-level pressure field from smooth PRMSL to
unsmoothed MSLET for GFS datasets.
* Corrections to the rotation of horizontal wind vectors that are provided on
a Cassini/rotated lat-lon projection.
