river_routing as model component or part of the land_surface? #2

Description

@jesusff

The current Essential Model Documentation (EMD) does not consider river routing (or surface or subsurface hydrology) a separate model component type (see Section 7.1). What do you think? Is the river routing in your coupled models a clearly separated component that needs to be coupled to the rest? or is it embedded in the land surface scheme? Note that even if it is embedded, the EMD allows for component types to be embedded within others (see Section 3.1). Does it typically have its own grid? time step?

As it is not currently in EMD, for the moment, we are coding it as part of the land_surface component:

river_routing:
name: ISBA-CTRIP vx.x
family: TRIP
description: >
CTRIP is a river routing model used to convert the daily runoff simulated
by ISBA into river discharge on the global river channel network at
1/12-degree resolution.
