DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES:
This PR adds many options that improve the 2m air temperatures, particularly when using NoahMP. Options are included in the namelist so they can be edited. These include:
Running RRTMG LW with the simple SW scheme
Distributing land surface fluxes over the bottom xxxx m of the atmosphere instead of the first layer
Damping the heat fluxes added to the atmosphere,
Decreasing PBL mixing over oceans to simulate a stable marine boundary layer
Restored the ability to read a mean bias file to correct precip going into the LSM
Also adds the ability to output IVT, increases the precision of the output time, increases the precision of the output accumulated precipitation, and fixed the date units error in the first file after a restart.
TESTS CONDUCTED:
Numerous runs comparing t2m with WRF and Obs grids,
35+ year ERAi simulation (missed some of the later fixes)
NOTES:
See updated complete namelist file to use many of these features.
