Change a setting parameter of the NSST model in UFS_UTILS to be consistent with UFS(fv3atm)

[XuLi-NOAA]

DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES:

A NSST model parameter, the maximum value of the diurnal warming layer thickness, z_w_max, has been reduced from 30 to 20 meters in 2021 in UFS (fv3atm) code, but z_w_max or xz_fill in UFS_UTILS is still set to be 30 in the chgres_cube utility of in UFS_UTILS. This PR is to change it to be 20 in UFS_UTILS as well to be consistent with UFS.

The code has been modifed and tested, and the result is as expected.

See https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Fl_rw_ski4cbP70I601uHhW7KNSwGB20Nf3UlJnsve4/edit?tab=t.0 for the details of the concern and solution.

Looks like the test that uses old xz fill values needs to be updated as well: https://github.com/XuLi-NOAA/UFS_UTILS/blob/f6da3526adae96a5c01cb4d8df0abbd95d04c04d/tests/chgres_cube/ftst_surface_nst_landfill.F90#L146-L147

Where is this test in UFS_UTILS? For example, in which directory as follows:

/scratch3/NCEPDEV/global/Xu.Li/chgres_xz
(base) bash-4.4$ ls
CMakeLists.txt LICENSE.md README.md VERSION build_all.sh ccpp-physics ci cmake docs driver_scripts fix modulefiles parm reg_tests sorc tests ush util

I see it. Yes, you are right, the 30 need to be changed to be 20 for this test of UFS_UTILS.

Brian,

I have commited the change (30 to 20 for this test) to my branch: chgres_xz

We expect these to fail since they are impacted by the changes in this PR. (all show changes in the xz variable)

This is consistent on all other systems as well.
