Upgrade to spack-stack 1.6.0

[DavidHuber-NOAA]

The UPP should be upgraded to use the newest suite of spack-stack libraries (version 1.6.0). This includes an upgrade of CRTM to 2.4.0.1 and netcdf-fortran to 4.6.1.

@DavidHuber-NOAA Thanks for bringing this upgrade to our attention. If you will work on a PR, the UPP code contribution procedure can be found at

@WenMeng-NOAA I apologize for not posting this sooner, but there is an issue with the CRTM spectral coefficient file amsua_metop-c.SpcCoeff.bin. The details on this file are available in this issue: JCSDA/spack-stack#963. I am not sure if this affects the UPP or not. If so, then the baselines may change again when the correct fix file is copied over.

Understood, thanks for the notice!

@DavidHuber-NOAA Thanks for the heads-up. Please let us know when corrected crtm fix files are available on Hera and Orion. We can conduct testing and update baselines if needed.

[DavidHuber-NOAA]

@FernandoAndrade-NOAA @WenMeng-NOAA The CRTM-fix file has been updated on Orion, so you may wish to test the UPP against it. I will be testing it in the GSI today and if it works well, then I will ask for it to be placed on Hera and the other tier-1 and tier-2 systems. I will let you know again when all systems have it and/or if the GSI testing reveals anything else needs to be updated.

@WenMeng-NOAA @FernandoAndrade-NOAA The corrected CRTM fix file have been pushed to all machines, so you should be good to recheck baselines everywhere. (Apologies for initially posting this to the PR).

The test results were as expected within the GSI WRT the CRTM fix files..

@DavidHuber-NOAA Thanks for the heads-up.
@FernandoAndrade-NOAA From the testing at my end on Orion and Hera, no baseline re-creation is needed.

Thanks for the notice, I have RTs running on Hera and Orion and will update here with the results.

[FernandoAndrade-NOAA]

RTs finished on Hera and Orion with no changes in results from my logs, thanks!

[DavidHuber-NOAA]

Great, thanks for checking!
