Should we add a new consistency test? This test uses the local NCEP template for rotated latl/on: The new test could be the same except for the input data (which would use the WMO template). |
I'd thought about that, but thought maybe we'd wait until we can support the full RRFS grib2 files with the new g2 library. I was only able to confirm that the current updates worked with a sub-CONUS file from Ben interpolated to an even smaller sub-CONUS output grid. |
Did you test the coldstart files in the model? I will help with testing on the machines you don't have access to. |

@LarissaReames-NOAA Can I merge this? |

@GeorgeGayno-NOAA sounds good to me! |
…pability (ufs-community#902) Add ability to read GRIB2 data that uses the WMO-standard rotated lat-lon grid template (GRIB2 grid template 1). Update 'readthedocs'. Fixes ufs-community#901.
DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES:
RRFS Fire needs to be able to initialize from the rotated lat-lon grib2 RRFS files which are on the WMO grib2 template 1. This implements the capacity to read data on that template. Also added 'RRFS' as a supported external_model namelist input. though it's not required to support this grid template. Full versions of those RRFS file, however, are still not supported as they are too large (>2GB). That will be addressed when #850 is fixed.
TESTS CONDUCTED:
Intel builds on Jet and Hera. Gnu builds on Hera. Unit tests pass on Hera. Consistency tests pass on Hera. Need support for: Orion, Hercules, WCOSS2 intel builds. Debug build on WCOSS2.
DEPENDENCIES:
N/A
DOCUMENTATION:
Updated documentation to note that 'RRFS' is now a supported external_model option.

Resolves #901
