…physics_noahmp,

  modified sourcecode to compile the original Noah-MP sourcecode inside the MPAS
  framework:

  -> in ./physics_noahmp/utility, modified Machine.F90 to become dependent to
     mpas_kind_types.F.

  -> in ./physics_noahmp/utility, ./physics_noahmp/src, and ./physics_noahmp/drivers/hrldas,
     modified Makefile to compile Noah-MP inside the MPAS framework.

  -> in src/core_atmosphere/physics/physics_noahmp/drivers/hrldas/NoahmpDriverMainMod.F90,
     removed the WRF modules module_ra_gfdleta and module_data_gocart_dust.

  -> modified Makefile to compile all physics_noahmp subdirectories.

…p/parameters/NoahmpTable.TBL

  as we do for all the files in ./physics/physics_wrf. NoahmpTable.TBL is need to run the Noah-MP
  land surface scheme.

  -> in /physics_noahmp/drivers, renamed the directory hrldas to mpas.
  -> in Makefile, changed all instance of hrldas to mpas.

…ed all instances of the J dimension

  and all references to WRF-related dimensions.

… NoahmpIOVarFinalizeMod.F90

  to deallocate all arrays first allocated in NoahmpIOVarInitMod.F90. Modified Makefile accordingly.

…ic variables

  soilcomp, soilcl1, soilcl2, soilcl3, and soilcl4 needed to run the Noah-MP land
  surface scheme.

…he Noah-MP

  land surface scheme:

  -> added the Noah-MP Registry file ./physics/Registry_noahmp.xml to Registry.xml.
     That file includes all the extra arrays to run Noah-MP.

  -> in ./physics/mpas_atmphys_control.F, added the option sf_noahmp as an alternate
     to sf_noah.

  -> in ./physics/mpas_atmphys_manager.F, added the outputs month and day as outputs
     to mpas_get_time. month and day are needed in ./physics_noahmp.

  -> in ./physics/mpas_atmphys_packages, added the package sf_noahmp_in.

…DriverMainMod.F90,

  added print statements for NoahmpIO%itimestep and NoahmpIO%xice_threshold.

…InitMainMod.F90,

  remove the initialization of NoahmpIO%areaxy.

…IOVarFinalizeMod.F90,

  removed the sourcecode that initializes NoahmpIO variables since NoahmpIOVarFinalizeMod.F90
  is only called to deallocate variables at the end of forecasts.

  -> in Registry.xml, added Noahmp variables to the input and restart streams to run
     the Noah-MP land surface scheme.

  -> added ./physics/Registry_noahmp.xml which contains all the Noah-MP variables
     needed to run the Noah-MP land surface scheme.

  -> added mpas_atmphys_lsm_noahmpinit.F to initialize Noah-MP variables within
     the MPAS framework.

  -> added mpas_atmphys_driver_lsm_noahmp.F to run the Noah-MP land surface scheme
     within the MPAS framework.

  -> in mpas_atmphys_vars.F, added the structure mpas_noahmp of type NoahmIO_type
     that contains all the Noah-MP variables and arrays needed for Noah-MP to
     communicate with the MPAS physics.
  -> in mpas_atmphys_init.F, added call to init_lsm_noahmp to initialize Noah-MP.
  -> in mpas_atmphys_driver.F, added call to driver_lsm_noahmp to run Noah-MP.
  -> Modified Makefile accordingly.

  -> in ./../mpas_atm_core.F, modified call to physics_init to include the pools
     diag_physics_noahmp and output_noahmp.

…ument missing_value

  to the definition of Noah-MP variables. missing_value is set to -9999 for integer and
  -9999.0 to real variables, as defined in Machine.F90 used in Noah-MP.

…oved variables needed in

  the crop model. The crop model is currently not available and related variables are not
  used.

…removed variables needed

  in the ground water parameterization.The ground water model is currently not available and
  related variables are not used.

  -> in NoahmpInitMod.F90, removed the initialization of xland, xice, and
     xice_threshold, and move all three variables to ./physics.

  -> in NoahmpDriverMainMod.F90, rearranged print statements.

…added the

  initialization of xland to subroutine lsm_noahmp_fromMPAS.

… description

  of a few Noah-MP variables.

…ded to run

  the Noah-MP land surface scheme.

…ption.

  -> moved the variables soilcomp, soilcl1, soilcl2, and soilcl3 from the input stream
     to the invariant stream.
  -> added the variable soilcl4 to the input stream.

  -> in ./physics_noahmp/drivers/mpas/NoahmpDriverMainMod.F90, commented extra
     print statements.
  -> in mpas_atmphys_driver_lsm_noahmp.F, commented extra print statements.

…ed to run Noah-MP

  from the restart stream since they are available in the "invariant" stream and the
  invariant stream is included in the "restart" stream.

…mented extra

  print statements originally written during the initialization of Noah-MP.

…oved extra

  print statements before and after call to subroutine NoahmpInitMain.
