Add the remaining UFS Case Studies

[EdwardSnyder-NOAA]

DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES:

This PR adds the remaining UFS Case Studies to the SRW App as WE2E tests. These new tests were added to the comprehensive and coverage files as well. Please note that Hurricane Michael's initial and boundary conditions are too old and doesn't contain enough data to be used by the current physics suites, resulting in a failure during the make_ics step.

The pre-existing UFS Case Study WE2E tests were modified to account for an increase in compute resources for the get_extrn_lbcs step. Adding these resources cut the get_extrn_lbcs run time in half, to under two hours.

These tests ran on PW AWS and can be found here: /contrib/Edward.Snyder/ufs-case-studies/all/expt_dirs

2020 Easter Sunday Storm
Wind forecast with the FV3_GFS_v16 physics suite matches well with the RAP analysis used in the case study.

2019 Memorial Day Heat Wave
The temperature forecast with the FV3_GFS_v16 physics suite looks to have a reduced warm bias compared to the SRW_GFSv15p2 suite from the case study.

2020 January Cold Blast
Using the FV3_GFS_v16 physics suite, it appears the cold bias was reduced compared to the physics suites used in the case study.

@EdwardSnyder-NOAA -

These changes look good to me! I was also able to successfully run the new WE2E tests on Hera:

I will be holding off on submitting the Jenkins tests until the HPSS library maintenance has concluded. I will be running them first thing in the morning.

Approving now.

@EdwardSnyder-NOAA all ufs_case_studies are failing on Hercules and Orion in get_extrn_lbcs part. When we use partition=service in job card, Hercules and Orion are limited to using only 1 node (and they refuse to submit task).
Since this job is only getting data (correct me if I'm wrong), we have no advantage in using more than one node. Do you recall any reason for putting nnodes: 2 in tests/WE2E/test_configs/ufs_case_studies/*.yaml files?
When I manually changed in FV3LAM_wflow.xml from <nodes>2:ppn=24</nodes> to <nodes>1:ppn=24</nodes> it worked OK.

[EdwardSnyder-NOAA]

@RatkoVasic-NOAA - I added an extra node for the get_extrn_lbcs task, so that the job will finish quicker. These tests pull large tar nemsio files from the AWS S3 bucket. The whole process of fetching and un-tarring files takes up to 4 hours on a single node when running the full case experiment (forecast hour set to 90). Adding an additional node cuts the runtime in half. I wasn't aware of these compute limitations on the other T1 platforms, so I can remove the extra node.

Great, I'm running just those tests on Orion and Hercules now.

[MichaelLueken]

The get_from_HPSS_ics_FV3GFS_lbcs_FV3GFS_fmt_netcdf_2022060112_48h test on Jet failed. The test failed in the make_lbcs task with the following error:

slurmstepd: error: Detected 1 oom_kill event in StepId=3675877.0. Some of the step tasks have been OOM Killed.
srun: error: s40: task 0: Out Of Memory
srun: Terminating StepId=3675877.0

Once Jet returns from maintenance, I will attempt to rerun the test. Once it passes, I will be able to move forward with merging this work.

HPSS is on maintenance as well, until 10PM EDT.

The rerun of the get_from_HPSS_ics_FV3GFS_lbcs_FV3GFS_fmt_netcdf_2022060112_48h WE2E test on Jet this morning successfully passed:
