Feature 413 surrogate severe calculation round 2

[georgemccabe]

I found a few things that need to be fixed in these files before we can merge it into develop. I starting making some of the changes on the feature branch, but I don't have time to fix the rest. The rest of the changes can be done on the same feature branch.

1. GridSta_fcstHRRR_obsPP_SurrogateSevereProb.conf - typo - should be GridStat (DONE)

2. PcpComb_EnsStat_Regrid_fcstHRRR_fcstonly_SurrogateSevere.conf - the name should contain the full name of the evaluation tool(s), so just EnsembleStat. also should be fcstOnly instead of fcstonly (DONE)

3. PARM_BASE shouldn't be set in the config files - it is set automatically by METplus and it will error out if it is set to a value that differs from the generated path.

4. GRID_STAT_OUTPUT_DIR is set relative to the INPUT_BASE. It should be relative to OUTPUT_BASE to separate out inputs from outputs (done in one file, there may be others)

5. The PcpComb_.. example (now EnsembleStat_fcstHRRR_fcstOnly_SurrogateSevere.conf) contains INPUT_BASE, OUTPUT_BASE, and PARM_BASE. None of these should be in these files. The user will set INPUT_BASE and OUTPUT_BASE in their user config file.

6. Write .py documentation files for each use case (these should now go in METplus/docs/use_cases/model_applications/convection_allowing_models)

7. Put the input data on kiowa in the appropriate input data directory (under /d1/projects/METplus/METplus_Data following the use_cases dir structure)

8. Someone other than the author should test running the use cases to make sure they can be run by any user

I made changes to the .conf file to fix issue 5. Issues 5 and 7 are fixed. I'm working on issue 6. Someone other than me should now test the changes I made.

I just committed the documentation (issue 6).

It worked for me on Kiowa

I just moved the use case documentation file to the docs directory so it will show up on Sphinx. I pushed the change to the feature branch which kicked off the pull request test on Travis again. This change can't affect the tests, so I think it is OK to merge this PR if you are all satisfied with the changes.

We will need to add this use case to the test_use_cases.py script under convection_allowing_models, but it will fail on Travis because the input files are not available there yet.
