Derived from half-degree run started 1959-01-01, forced with CRU-JRA, at tag alpha-ctsm5.4.CMIP7.15.ctsm5.3.079. Growing seasons defined by files [sh]dates_ggcmi_crop_calendar_phase3_v1.01_nninterp-hcru_hcru_mt13.2000-2000.20230728_165845.nc. Maximum growing season length in generate_gdds.py derived from mxmat in clm60_params.crop_omni02.c251120.nc with no 'cushion'. generate_gdds.py first season 1995 and last season 2005.

@samsrabin I looked at your changes. They seem simple enough. Approving.

I have a couple comments/questions, but this looks good to go. My comments should be addressed in a possible later step. Most of the work was in creating the new datasets that you point to here. So this is deceptively simple compared to the loads of work it took you to get the datasets ready.

Description of changes
Updated crop maturity requirements and GDD20 baselines using improved scripts and CRU-JRA forcing.
Calibrating crop parameters looking at yield for about 1995-2005 while minimizing failed seasons:
arootichanges.Soybean: It's low for this period but nothing I tried helped much. Removing mxmat helped a bit, so increase max growing season length from 150 days to 180 days.Accidentally did this for rice instead! Will revert in next crop parameter PR.arootichanges. Need a pretty big drop in yields and this didn't do it in my test, but that was without grainfill triggering max LAI and thus much more failed crop area. (There were no crop phase parameter changes in CLM5.)Specific notes
Contributors other than yourself, if any: None
CTSM Issues Fixed:
Are answers expected to change (and if so in what way)? Yes: Any CLM6 crop compset.
Any User Interface Changes (namelist or namelist defaults changes)? New:
clm6_0paramfilestream_fldfilename_cultivar_gddsstream_gdd20_seasons = .false.stream_fldFileName_gdd20_baseline.Does this create a need to change or add documentation? Did you do so? No
Testing performed, if any:
