This looks good, lots of changes here, thanks @grantfirl!

I scanned the changes and they make sense to me, though there are so many I am leaning on the CI passing.

Looks good - just a comment on an extra line deletion that differed from UFS/dev to take/leave.
Also in GFS_typedefs.F90, I am guessing these changes weren't needed for SCM, but just making sure.

Good eye. I think that I didn't bring this change over because I thought it was just related to the difference in how UFS was doing tracers, but upon a little digging, this did fix an actual integer underflow bug in UFS. I'm not sure that it would have ever come up in the SCM context, but I fixed it nevertheless. Should be good now.

I think that the RT differences look OK. I didn't look at all of the difference plots, but the ones that I did are consistent with what was experienced with the UFS.
