Create regression tests #99

Closed GeorgeGayno-NOAA closed 4 years ago

GeorgeGayno-NOAA commented 4 years ago

Regression tests currently exist for chgres_cube. Tests are needed for other repository components. In particular: global_cycle, the grid generation programs, and the emcsfc programs.

GeorgeGayno-NOAA commented 4 years ago

The following regression tests were created. All tests compare their output to a baseline set of files.

global_cycle - Run for a C768 global case. Mimics the cycle step in GFS v15.
emcsfc_snow2mdl - Create a T1534 snow analysis. Mimics the snow2mdl step in GFS v15.
emcsfc_ice_blend - Create a 1/12-degree global ice analysis. Mimics the ice_blend step in GFS v15.
grid creation utilities (orog, sfc_climo_gen and fre-nctools) - Create C96 global uniform and regional grids ('grid', 'oro' and surface climo files).

Regression tests were not created for these components:

nst_tf_chg - this program does not work (#90).
global_chgres - this is nearly obsolete.
the nems utilities - these utilities are easily tested manually from the command line.

The branch at d1dcf67 was tested on Jet, Hera, WCOSS-Dell and WCOSS-Cray. Baseline files for all new regression tests were created for each machine. All regression tests ran correctly.

Will merge to 'develop'.

Merged to 'develop' at 270f9dc. Will delete the feature/reg_tests branch. Closing issue.
