627 ljw mov parallel 2

[lee1043]

• Resolve Issue Parallel run for modes of variability metrics code #627
• Here, the changes were migrated from PR 627 ljw mov parallel #628 because the previous branch was based on outdated master and rebase process was not going smooth.

NOTE: Some more cleaning up and checking needed before fully merging to master. Please do not merge this until told.

@gleckler1 I believe this branch is ready to be merged.

@lee1043 Before we merge this with master lets first settle on where to put our in-house param files, e.g.,

/variability_mode/doc/myParam_test.py → ...ariability_mode/param/myParam_demo_NAM.py

We know have another PR with a proposal of where to put these ;-)

There are some failures with the circleci tests, but I recall you indicated Lina suggested we can live with them. Do you know if they will they count against our "success" rate?

@muryanto1 Some tests are still failing even after I have taken care of all flake8 related issues. I see below log from circle ci, any chance that is looking familiar to you?

@lee1043 HTTP Error indicates there is a network issue in circle ci at the time the test ran, please do "Rerun Workflow from Failed" in circleci.

[lee1043]

@muryanto1 will do, thank you very much for your comment.

[lee1043]

@gleckler1 internal parameter files were moved to under the sample_setups directory

[gleckler1]

@lee1043 It looks like the job has stalled because we are using the free version.

[gleckler1]

@lee1043 Shall I merge this now?

[lee1043]

@gleckler1 yes please :)
