Description

This PR is a combination of the following:

#947 from @AnningCheng-NOAA

Enable 3-hourly forcing for MERRA2 data

#949 from @DWesl

Adds arrays to accumulate the water vapor photochemistry terms and write them out.

This PR should not change model output, but it will change water vapor diagnostics in the stratosphere and mesosphere to reflect changes from methane oxidation and photodissociation.

See original PR for more complete description

#980 from @lisa-bengtsson

Currently there is a dx threshold to not use the prognostic closure in saSAS convection for resolutions coarser than 30km. After testing and evaluation for the Seasonal Forecast System (SFS) linked here, we would like to activate this closure also for SFSv1. Thus, to be able to use this closure in SFS (~50km target) this threshold need to be made larger.

This pull-request will need new baselines for any coarser RT test than C384 using the saSAS convection scheme. It does not impact GFSv17 or GEFSv13 at C1152 or C384 resolution.

In particular, allow the ozone scheme to have two extra sets of parameters during the ozone hole without crashing the model.
With a separate index for each photochemistry scheme, we can move the index-finding calls
in the conditional for the photochemistry scheme.
