Updates for RRTMGP Validation and OceanBioGeoChem

[mathomp4]

This release of GEOSradiation_GridComp has two updates.

The first is a small change needed for ongoing OceanBioGeoChem work (#28). To use this completely needs updates in GEOSgcm_GridComp and GOCART. Contact @mfmehari for more information.

The second is an update for on-going validation of RRTMGP (#33). This adds a new CMake option, ENABLE_SOLAR_RADVAL which is default OFF. Enabling it will enable many new exports for validation purposes.

This update is non-zero-diff for RRTMGP but that is not run by default currently. For RRTMG they are either zero-diff or 'truncation zero-diff', but these changes should only affect diagnostic outputs. That said, the Solar Internal Restart will have some changes (see below) but the overall state of the model is zero-diff with RRTMG:

• Metadata changes (long_name)
  • CLDHISW: "high-level_cloud_area_fraction_rrtmg_sw_REFRESH" → "high-level_cloud_area_fraction_RRTMG_P_SW_REFRESH"
  • CLDLOSW: "low-level_cloud_area_fraction_rrtmg_sw_REFRESH" → "low-level_cloud_area_fraction_RRTMG_P_SW_REFRESH"
  • CLDMDSW: "mid-level_cloud_area_fraction_rrtmg_sw_REFRESH" → "mid-level_cloud_area_fraction_RRTMG_P_SW_REFRESH"
  • CLDTTSW: "total_cloud_area_fraction_rrtmg_sw_REFRESH" → "total_cloud_area_fraction_RRTMG_P_SW_REFRESH"
