First, ensure these changes don't affect the current capability. The branch at 144c86b was compiled on Hera, Orion, Jet and WCOSS2 (Cactus). The grid_gen consistency tests were run. All tests passed.

Next, create a grid(s) using the new BNU soil data. Using the branch at 144c86b, a regional ESG grid was created on Orion, Hera and Jet. On WCOSS2, regional ESG, global C96 and global C768 grids were created. All model grid soil type files were inspected visually and compared to the original data. All tests passed.

@GeorgeGayno-NOAA, I see updates to the docs and driver scripts, but not to the code. How does the code know what to do with "bnu.30s"? Does it just search for whatever string is provided?

@GeorgeGayno-NOAA, I see updates to the docs and driver scripts, but not to the code. How does the code know what to do with "bnu.30s"? Does it just search for whatever string is provided?

The path/name of the soil type file is a namelist entry for sfc_climo_gen (input_soil_type_file in ./ush/sfc_climo_gen.sh). The program expects that this file has a 'soil_type' record, lat/lon records for geo-referencing, and a few attribute records. So as long as the soil type file contains these records, the program should work. For users that create grids using the scripts in ./driver_scripts, the soil type file is selected using the soil_type_src variable. I know that some groups do not use those scripts to create grids. So, you are welcome to run your own tests.
