WRFotron2.3.0

Updates

• Action needed:
  • Either clone the new repository.
  • Or add the following changes to an existing WRFotron:
    • In config.bash, add netcdf/4.6.3 to the loaded modules.
    • In namelist.wrf.blueprint, remove all instances of auxinput5/6 from the &time_control section.
      • This fixes meteorological spin up in CEMAC builds (issue).
    • In namelist.chem.blueprint, change dust_opt to 13.
      • This replaces dust_opt 3 for WRFChem4.2 (issue).
    • In pre.bash, remove duplicate WRF_UoM_EMIT/ in path for copying over the final_output (line 149).
• No action needed:
  • CEMAC conda module includes python libraries required for post-processing (pp_concat_regrid.py) script.
  • CEMAC modulefile for WRFChem4.2 updated for build 2.
    • This fixes the N2O5 chemistry (issue).
  • CEMAC build for WPSChem3.7.1 fixed for geogrid and metgrid.
  • Removed superfluous anthro_emis.inp from WRF_UoM_EIT.
