This is intended to be the first step towards implementing the UFS stochastic physics scheme into the offline Noah-MP driver.
Initially, we will:
- Use the UFS stochastic physics unit test to create a file with the random perturbations (atm_stochy.nc).
- Read in the perturbations from above, and apply them to the SHDMAX field input into Noah-MP.
Above, will requires using the vector2tile repo to map the perturbation (tiles) onto the Noah-MP inout (vector).
Steps for number 2:
a) Vector2tile: a separate executable for mapping the perturbations.
b) Apply perturbations to static file using output from a).
