LISF 557WW 7.4.2 Release

LDT Release notes:

• No updates since LISF 557WW 7.4.1.

LIS Release notes:

• Add support for multi-layer snow from JULES 5.0 (PS41 configuration).
• Fix soil moisture supersaturation triggered by unit conversion.
  Conversion of JULES soil moisture from kg m^-2 to m^3 m^-3 can lead to slightly oversaturated values if the values in the original units are already at saturation. This is due to floating point rounding error. The added code resets the converted soil moistures to the saturated value in that case. (The values are only about 1e-7 m^3 m^-3 over the saturation limit, so it's not a huge deal, but it seems best to fix it immediately.)

LVT Release notes:

• Add support for multi-layer snow from JULES 5.0 (PS41 configuration).

LISF 557WW 7.4.1 Release

LDT Release notes:

• Address SonarQube findings for LISF 557WW 7.4.0

LIS Release notes:

• Address SonarQube findings for LISF 557WW 7.4.0
• The couple_jules_to_lis.sh script has been updated to add David's code change for preventing LIS-JULES crash.
• Minor tweaks to 557WW-7.4 config files for consistency
• Modified JULES-5.0 and Noah-3.9 soil moisture DA pertattribs
• Reorganized read_CDFdata_month to reduce memory usage.
  Running LIS-JULES in full Air Force configuration (10-km global domain, 12 ensembles, AGRMET Ops, land DA) leads to memory exhaustion on Discover with 560 processors, when reading in the ASCAT CDF file. These code changes reduces the memory usage in read_CDFdata_month by about 50%, and LIS is able to move past this stage.

LVT Release notes:

• Address SonarQube findings for LISF 557WW 7.4.0

LISF Public 7.3.1 Release

Release notes

LDT

• Update LDT documentation to reflect all run modes

LIS

• Call LIS_lsm_DAmapTileSpaceToObsSpace instead of LIS_mapTileSpaceToObsSpace

  The routine LIS_mapTileSpaceToObsSpace was broken
  into LIS_surfaceModel_DAmapTileSpaceToObsSpace,
  LIS_lsm_DAmapTileSpaceToObsSpace, and LIS_routing_DAmapTileSpaceToObsSpace.

  The code in jules5x_map_snodep.F90 and jules5x_map_usafsi.F90 was
  calling the old routine, which leads to a compile-time error.

• Correct typo of HYMAP2 option in lis.config.adoc

• Refine JULES-5.0 snow DA checks against attrib file maximums

  This commit refines JULES-5.0 snow DA checks as recommended
  by @yyoon, @yhkwon81, and @emkemp on the comments to this
  pull request.

  Instead of hard-coding a value above which snow DA is not
  performed, the maximum values in the attribs file are used.

  Also, consistency checks between the SWE and snow depth
  after snow DA against the maximums are performed, using
  the snow density.

  The recommended JULES-5.0 SWE and snow depth maximums are
  lowered to their previous values, and now are consistent
  with the numbers used by Noah-3.9 and Noah-MP-4.0.1 LSMs.

  (cherry picked from commit b2f7a10)

• Change JULES-5.0 snow DA state variable quality control

  This pull request includes changes to code that quality controls
  JULES-5.0 state variables for snow DA for the SNODEP and USAFSI
  products. These changes include:

  1. Turn off snow DA when snow depths are very high

  2. Use snow density from the JULES-5.0 state variable

  3. Check snow density against JULES-prescribed maximum/minimum

  4. Only check SWE and snow depth maximum when doing an update

  5. Increase the recommended SWE and snow depth maximum values
     in the attributes file

  (cherry picked from commit b97424e)

• Fix HYMAP2 2-way coupling in parallel mode

  HYMAP2 2-way coupling was not working properly when run in
  parallel. This fix adds dummy subroutines to the land-surface
  models which allow the 2-way coupling options to work properly.
  A more robust fix might be added in the future.

  Resolves: #605

LVT

• Commented out LVT_statsEntry fields in LVT_stats object.

  Newer versions of GFORTRAN will hang and often fail in
  lvt/core/LVT_statsDataMod.F90, due to an acknowledged compiler bug.
  This avoids the compiler bug by commenting out all LVT_statsEntry fields
  in the LVT_stats object.

  It turns out that these fields are not actually used by LVT -- the
  LVT_statsEntry objects used instead are separately created and organized
  as a linked ist. Commenting out these fields does not change the runtime
  behavior of LVT, and allows compilation with GFORTRAN.

• Added restart capability for PSS, PODY, and PODN.

• Fixed bug in writing RMSE STDEV counts to output.

• Fix LVT Max and Min metric time series output

  This pull request fixes time series output for the
  Max (maximum) and Min (minimum) metrics from LVT.

  The MEAN metrics code was cleaned-up as well, but
  the output for this metric will not change at all.

  A testcase is coming soon.

  Resolves: #705

• Correct SAC SWE units

ALL

• Support compiling LISF without HDF-EOS2

  Several data assimilation obs readers require HDF-EOS2 support, but they
  were checking for HDF4. Thus if you disabled HDF-EOS2 at configure-time with

  "Use HDFEOS? (1-yes, 0-no, default=1): 0"

  then these routines would fail to compile.
