[Ncep.list.fv3-announce] NEMSfv3gfs and FV3 git repository updates 20180614

[Jun Wang - NOAA Federal]

Dear all,

Following changes were committed to the NEMSfv3gfs and FV3 repositories:

Task #49770 <https://vlab.ncep.noaa.gov/redmine/issues/49770>: Adding
regional physics in FV3

The regional (NAM) physics package is added to FV3 repository. A compiler
option NAM_phys is added. When it is set to Y, the NAM physics is chosen,
the model field vertical level is not flipped between dynamics and physics
because the NAM vertical levels is from top to bottom, the same as fv3
dycore. By default NAM_phys is N, the gfs physics package will be chosen,
the vertical level between dynamics and physics will be flipped as before
and the gfs physics package will be compiled.

A new regression test fv3_NAM_phys is set up to run on theia only.

Above changes do not alter current baseline results. Regression test passed
on wcoss phase1/2, cray, theia, gaea c3/c4 and jet (tujet and svjet).

Thanks.

Jun
