We ran FC5AV1C-L for 6 years with preqx dycore and SL transport and made 5-year climatologies. With diagnostics package, we compared climatologies of the new run to the default (preqx dycore, Eulerian transport, default E3SM settings) run from the same compset. Results are in https://portal.nersc.gov/project/acme/onguba/sl/sl-fastest.2369911-latlon-vs-f2/viewer/latitude-longitude/index.html for latlon plots and in https://portal.nersc.gov/project/acme/onguba/sl/sl-fastest.2369911-zonal-vs-f2/viewer/pressure-latitude/index.html for zonal plots. Our understanding from communicating with C. Golaz is that differences are relatively minor and are expected.
This task required new coupling mechanisms between homme and physics (ftypes). Tests for all coupling schemes are now in nightlies with baselines.

There are some differences, in particular, for seasonal jets ("U global" pressure-latitude images) and for tropopause T200mb ("is a somewhat large positive temperature bias at approximately 300 to 200 mb near the poles, visible in the "T global" pressure-latitude images and "T-200mb global" latitude-longitude images). An expert should evaluate these. The T200mb difference is a positive temperature bias at approximately 300 to 200 mb near the poles. There is a corresponding negative bias in relative humidity in these same regionsthis difference.
Test for theta-l dycore and SL transport was added to nightlies with baselines.
