Updates to support MPAS applications (RRFS and HFIP)

[jaymes-kenyon]

This PR provides several updates to improve UPP functionality with MPAS (specifically MPASSIT) output, including:

1. Changes in INITPOST_MPAS to handle lat–lon projections (as used in HFIP)
2. Inclusion of SOILT and SOILW output
3. Silencing various "sample" print statements

Testing has been successful in the HFIP-MPAS and RRFS-MPAS configurations, both of which use MPASSIT-generated netCDF output. This PR addresses issue #1030.

@jaymes-kenyon Can you open a UPP issue to link to this PR?

[WenMeng-NOAA]

@jaymes-kenyon Do you have MPAS-HFIP model output for my UPP standalone test? Would MPAS output you provided from last PR be sufficient for my test for RRFS-MPAS?

[jaymes-kenyon]

Hi @WenMeng-NOAA — I've placed some HFIP-MPAS output on Hera, along with an "itag" file:
/scratch2/BMC/wrfruc/kenyon/sample/hfip_mpas/2024080812
The intended UPP control file for HFIP-MPAS is postxconfig-NT-hfip.txt

For RRFS-MPAS testing, you may continue to use the sample from my previous PR. Thanks!

[WenMeng-NOAA]

@jaymes-kenyon Please validate my UPP standalone tests on Hera:

1) MPAS data: /home/Wen.Meng/stmp2/mpas_2024082112
2) MPAS_HFIP data: /home/Wen.Meng/stmp2/mpas_2024080900

Hi @WenMeng-NOAA — Your tests look good to me—thanks for sharing!

[WenMeng-NOAA]

@jaymes-kenyon There seem to be an excessive number of printouts from INITPOST_MPAS.F. Could you reduce them?
e.g.

         if(i==im/2.and.j==(jsta+jend)/2)                           &
        print*,'i,j,L,ZINT from unipost= ',i,j,LM+1,ZINT(I,J,LM+1)      &
              , ALPINT(I,J,LM+1),ALPINT(I,J,LM)

[jaymes-kenyon]

@WenMeng-NOAA — Thanks! I commented-out several print statements in the most recent commit. In my test, this reduced the size of the UPP log file by about 20%. We can probably find many more "print" and "write" statements to comment-out going forward.

[WenMeng-NOAA]

@jaymes-kenyon For this print statement, I would suggest printing information exclusively from process 0 as:

if (me==0) WRITE(6,*)'INITPOST_MPAS:  ENTER INITPOST_MPAS'

[WenMeng-NOAA]

@jaymes-kenyon I would suggest this printout come exclusively from process 0.

[jaymes-kenyon]

@WenMeng-NOAA — Thanks for the advice; I added this logic to several "write" statements.

[WenMeng-NOAA]

@jaymes-kenyon I would suggest this type of printout (print*,***)in INITPOST_MPAS.F come exclusively from process 0.

[WenMeng-NOAA]

@jaymes-kenyon I would suggest the printout (write(,)) in getVariable.f come exclusively from process 0.
You may add process id "me" in this line.

[jaymes-kenyon]

Thanks, @WenMeng-NOAA — I will make another commit soon with these changes to INITPOST_MPAS and getVariable. Should I also modify the write statements in getIVariableN.f? It is very similar to getVariable.f

[WenMeng-NOAA]

@jaymes-kenyon It would be great if you apply the changes in getIVariableN.f. Thanks!

[WenMeng-NOAA]

@jaymes-kenyon The printouts in the runtime log have been reduced by more than 50%. Thanks for working on this. We will proceed with your PR for final testing.

[WenMeng-NOAA]

@FernandoAndrade-NOAA Please start the UPP RTs on R&D machines. There should be no baseline update.

[WenMeng-NOAA]

The UPP RTs have been completed on WCOSS2. No baseline update is needed.

[FernandoAndrade-NOAA]

No changes in RT results across Hera, Hercules, and Orion.
