@chan-hoo Thank you very much for making adding the FV3_GFS_v17_p8 CCPP physics suite to the SRW App! I just pushed a minor update, turning off the Hera Jenkins pipeline since EPIC can no longer run on Hera using the nems account and we haven't been given a new allocation as of this time. I was able to test your newly added grid_RRFS_CONUS_25km_ics_FV3GFS_lbcs_FV3GFS_suite_GFS_v17_p8 test on Jet without issue. Approving these changes now.

@chan-hoo Before I move forward and merge this work, would you be able to merge the latest develop updates from today into your feature/ccpp_gfs_v17p8 branch? Two of these modifications are to correct the failures in the unit tests and I'd like to make sure that, moving forward, no further failures are introduced. Thanks!
