Hi Moha, checking in with what you're looking for in this review. Anything in particular you want reviewers to take a close look at?

@hkershaw-brown I would like mainly the 'enhanced performance' commit to be looked at. The other commits are less important and have been tested extensively. The enhanced performance commit has changes to model-mod and noah-hydro-mod to accelerate several computations. Please let me know if you have any questions.
