This is a very small PR that can easily be merged with other PR's.

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.

In this PR I'm also making a small correction (units from frac to Pa/s for the updraft omega).

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.

@lisa-bengtsson Have you run RTs yet? I don't see a UWM PR. I'm happy to combine this with something else, although if baselines are changed as you mentioned, it might make it more difficult.

@grantfirl there is a UWM PR here: ufs-community/ufs-weather-model#2771

I uploaded the test_changes.list so you can see which baselines are updated if that helps.

Doh. I see it now. Thanks. We'll see if it make sense to combine with something else. I'll let you know.
