Adding land points to the sample dataset #20

Closed rodrigoguzman-lmd closed 5 years ago

As mentioned in the introduction of Pull Request #19, it would be useful to have some land points in the sample data provided with the offline version of COSPv2. So far, the 153 grid points provided in this dataset are over ocean only. Adding land points to the sample dataset would allow us to have a wider range of cases covered with the regression test, and would be particularly useful for testing diagnostics depending on or related to the surface elevation.

To test new COSPv2 diagnostics above land with the provided sample dataset, simply change the « NPOINTS » parameter in file « driver/run/cosp2_input_nl.txt » (line 28) from « 153 » to « 300 ». The COSPv2 output sample dataset created when running the « driver/run/cosp2_test » executable will then have about 240 grid points above the ocean and the last 60 grid points above lands reaching 3200 m of surface elevation (see Pull Request #19 for more detail on this).
