• If new or updated input data is required by this PR, it is clearly stated in the text of the PR.

Description

This updates the input data date. The update in the input file is so that the land-spin up for NOAH-MP is included in the sfc files for soil variables for the BM7_ICs.

Issue(s) addressed

• Issue The wrong ICs are used in p7a (and in develop/p7b branch) #624

Testing

Currently, the 35 day tests are being run with a 20 min wall clock to ensure that all IC dates for benchmarks initialize.
Will update the thread when these have completed.

The test to make sure the model started with the new sfc* files for the 35 day benchmark runs are completed. Note these only ran for a 20 minute wall clock and were just intended to make sure the model started without issues as expected.

The output is on hera here: /scratch1/NCEPDEV/stmp2/Jessica.Meixner/FV3_RT/rt_66835

I checked the soil temperature field from 20120101 for (rt_66835 vs original p7a) and compared with the difference in (correct land ICs vs originally used ICs)

The grids are different (regridded vs tiled), so cannot do a direct comparison, but a zoom in over a similar domain is below. It indicates that the change has gone through correctly.

a) fh000 rt_66835 test runs minus original p7a runs

b) tile 1 in /scratch1/NCEPDEV/stmp2/Michael.Barlage/spinup/mini7a/jarvis/2012010100/sfc_data.tile1.nc (correct land ICs)
minus
the ics used to initialise p7a /scratch1/NCEPDEV/nems/emc.nemspara/RT/NEMSfv3gfs/input-data-20210528/FV3_input_frac/BM7_IC/2012010100/gfs/C384_L127/INPUT/sfc_data.tile1.nc (land ICs used for original p7a runs)

thanks for everybody's quick action, I will start to re-run P7a now
