I have a proposed fix to MPAS-Ocean init mode in: E3SM-Ocean-Discussion#96
The Coriolis parameter is only computed in MPAS-Ocean initial conditions and then carried through. It is never computed in forward mode, nor is omega used anywhere I could identify in forward mode.
Two fundamental constants differ across E3SM and MPAS components affecting the Coriolis Parameter.
MPAS-SeaIce declares constants in mpas_seaice_constants.F drawn directly from shr_const_mod.F90 in the E3SM framework and in ice_comp_mct.F. By comparison, MPAS-Ocean draws on some constants declared in mpas_ocn_constants.F from shr_const_mod.F90 in the E3SM framework, also in ocn_comp_mct.F, but others from the MPAS framework in mpas_constants.F.
Here are the resulting differences to PI and Omega (O=ocean, I=sea ice, E=E3SM:):
PI
3.141592653589793 (O)
3.14159265358979323846 (I)
3.14159265358979323846 (E)
Omega (/s)
7.29212e-5 (O)
7.29212e-5 (I)
7.29212351699037e-05 (E - calculated using PI and siderial day constants)
These values should be identical across the coupled system. Suggest we collectively use [SHR_CONST_OMEGA](https://github.com/E3SM-Project/E3SM/blob/661e8078abde19f5542755d9bd9a75206a999fbe/share /util/shr_const_mod.F90#L19), declared in the respective ocean and sea ice files.
